You must have tabs at the beginning of each of your commands,
not spaces.  Many people have complained about DOS Edit
because, by default, when you press TAB it inserts 8 spaces instead
of an actual tab character.  There are ways around this, however.

FYI, Emacs and (AFAIK) RHIDE both tabulate properly.
