Now you've got me started! The convention for tab is 8 characters. To get along with the rest of the world, don't try to mess with that. If you want your indents to be smaller than 8 characters, don't use a tab. Good editors can make indents be a configurable number of spaces, which will allow you to get along with the rest of the world while having your smaller indents. -- Andrew McNabb http://www.mcnabbs.org/andrew/ PGP Fingerprint: 8A17 B57C 6879 1863 DE55 8012 AB4D 6098 8826 6868
