    Matthew,

    Thanks for the reply. Since posting this message I have discovered a 'set
    ts=4' option in vi and a -x4 in more. I have also discovered that the tab
    stops are hardwired at 8 columns in kern/tty.c therefore cat can only ever
    use 8 column tabs unless tty.c is changed. vi was the main area where I
    wanted the 4 tab spacing.

    Again thanks for you assistance.

    Regards Craig.
