[KLUG Members] I want to be the master of tabs

[Dirk Bartley]

man expand
man unexpand

hmmm

I wish those were known by me before I wrote some perl scripts to do 
just that.

Good thought, but I need to do this at the terminal?? level. 
 
The debugging program I use is outputting my tabs indented out
farther than I would like and I would like to continue to use 
tabs instead of spaces.
