Greeting Cico!
 CB> I like QEdit a lot but this one problem with tabs is driving

     I'm certainly *not* a "power user" of TSE/Jr but having registered
the program, I at least have a manual to reference.
 CB> I have tried setting ALL options in General and Advanced that

 CB> Remove trailing blanks, etc.) to "NO" in the hopes that one of
 CB> these options is screwing things up.
     I'm using ver 4.00 and the configuration utility also has an area
for configuring the tabs in detail.  Anyway, here's what the manual
says, maybe this will help.
TabToSpaces

Expands tab characters to the appropriate number of spaces.  Tabs within
quotes (single and double) are not expanded.  If the cursor is within a
marked Block when this command is executed, only tabs within the Block
are expanded; otherwise, this command operates on the entire file.
     Let us know how you fare.
                                               Later,
                                               Phill
