I should clarify:  I do understand that the computer is doing
exactly what I told it to do according to the documented behavior of
each command.  I think I understand why.  For one thing, ":g/re/" is
not a range.  The ":g/re/" command is applying the ":retab!
new_tabstop" command to _each_ line that matches the re.

As this behavior sinks in, it makes sense, in some sense.  I'm
thinking more and more that this is not a bug but a misunderstanding
and incorrect expectation on my part.

I don't know what the correct solution to Hoss's retabbing problem
is, since I don't know the problem he's trying to solve.

Regards,
Gary
