Good then I'm clean concerning this one....

Ok....  Then the (n)curses package and running in VT-100 / ANSI.SYS mode
should work for you....

 ML> I thought a tab was supposed to be five not eight

Most type writters and most modern word processors used 1/2 tab spacing. 
At 10 CPI, that was 5 characters.  Most (older) ASCII based terminals set
up tab characters to stop every eight columns (i.e. next character in
columns 9, 17, 25, etc.)....  Most software now makes tabs adjustable, but
I think ASCII text editors that substite tabs for white space still use the
8 character rule by default....

 BJ> Ok, where did I hide that copy of a VI clone for OS/2?

 ML> I didn't know it existed.

Found about three searching my BBS file areas....  Need to find one I like
and works right....

Good luck.....

Take care.....
