The last batch of tech notes included one with a name like "Don't abuse
the Managers" that said that you shouldn't extend text edit to handle
tabs.

It also included documententation on new calls and hooks added to Text
Edit in System 6.0, that in particular let you intercept text edit's
measuring of text and drawing of text, to make it easy to implement tabs.

You should read both.
