Rich,

I actually keyed a TAB character, not spaces. 

Thanks for your response,

Lee Crain

   My condolences.

Lee,

   Only yourself. The '\t' (or use double quotes to keep Gates and Balmer
happy) is the standard ASCII code for a tab. The number of spaces in a tab
is not universally fixed at the same width, and spaces are not equal to a
tab.

   When you're in the sqlite command line editor, type .h to see all the
help. The .mode command is also useful when dumping or exporting to a disk
file.
