Well, the answer is ":set tabstop=8", but I'd recommend ":set shiftwidth=3" and leaving tabs hard set to 8 (then anyone viewing your file will still see your desired indentation). Just use ^T and ^D in insert mode to tab/backtab, >> and << to indent/un-indent in command mode. Regards, -- Rex -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
