I thought you could do a set to change them?

Well the funny thing is the Jehova's Witnesses knocked on my door the other
day, and one of them was an old white bag, and the other was a 30-ish, OK
looking Asian.  So rather than tell them to F.O. I talked to them, hoping
that somewhere in the conversation the Asian one would up and decide that
the only way to spiritual freedom was to take off all her clothes. 
Unfortunately my hopes and hard reality are two entirely different things.

Then a Greenpeace woman came, a 27-ish white woman, and I was hoping that
as I explained to her why it was OK to store nuclear waste in the middle of
Australia, and it was OK to chop down the Daintree rainforest, and it was
OK to send chemical waste to France, that she would realise that the only
way to convince me would be to go totally "back to the bush" and
take off all her clothes.  Another one of these reality vs non-reality
mix-ups I'm afraid.

 PM> The way you've made the tabs work is the way I want them. Now what about

Shift-tab always goes back 4 spaces, and if it reaches the beginning of the
line it wraps.  Did you want that to happen or did you want it to always be
on columns 1, 5, 9 etc?  BFN.
