You can't have the cake and eat it, too. The user has two choices: (a) Live with ugly tab-width=8 but enjoy pretty 80 cols. (b) Enjoy pretty tab-width=4 and live with ugly 65 cols. Your proposal prohibits (b). I don't see how it could be bad to give a user more choices. Kai -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
