I don't know how easy it is to fix the above, but it is SET's task.
I have here a hint for all RHIDE user. Please try to not to use
the real tabs or if you do so, you should know about the complexness
when handling tabs. This is very complex (at least how it is coded for
now) task and may have some bugs in it. I'm using never real tabs
and had in the last time no such problems.

I hope you understand me, but the editor becomes too complex
for me to fix anything there and I'm also not willing to do
so, because it is SET's editor which is really a very good
one.

And a last note: Are there really any important reasons
to use real tabs instead of spaces?? I'm using only spaces
and have also a little bit success (see RHIDE).

Robert
