I'm not sure all of the implications, but :set tabstop=0 will let you do autoindent without tabs. Already tabbed text seems to get treated decently. The vi Bug: The reason I'm crossposting to comp.bugs.misc is that there's a bug in the hardtabs handling that causes vi to dump core. Try :set hardtabs=0 and watch for the floating point exception. -- # Thanks; # Bill Stewart, AT&T Bell Labs 2G218, Holmdel NJ 1-201-949-0705 ihnp4!ho95c!wcs Rnmail: .signature too boring - deleted
