man curl

in a worksheet demonstrates a problem with tab settings. I typically have my worksheets set up for a tab setting of 20 because I regularly find myself executing code segments that generate tab- separated data as stdout destined for other places in the world. I would rather scroll horizontally than try to figure out variable column locations by counting tab characters set to be visible.

When I run the man command someone - BBEdit? - apparently does an entab operation which seems to assume a tab setting of 4 regardless of my choice. The display is strange indeed.

When I run this in a worksheet, regardless of tab settings, it looks the same, and just how I'd expect. I'm using the latest beta (b3), but the tab setting doesn't appear to matter because the indentation is done with spaces, not tabs. This is on 10.4.7.
