Re: Tabbing Preferences

Do you have **FREE already specified at the top of the source?
In my RDI 9.6.0.1 that is defining whether the tab shifts 2 or 8 columns
from the most left position.

Before beginning to wrote totally-free C-specs, I enjoyed being
able to press the tab key and have the cursor skip to column 8 on new
(blank) lines. After that, I had my tab key set to skip the cursor by 2
columns from there on out.

Now that I am writing totally-free C-specs, I wish the tab key
would not skip those first 7 columns and go to column 8. However, I have
searched the Preferences and cannot find where to stop this behavior. I
tried LPEX Editor / Tabs and I tried the various possibilities under
Remote Systems LPEX Editor / IBM i Parsers / ILE RPG but my tab key still
skips to column 8.

Anybody know the trick to this? I want the first press of the tab
key to go to column 2 and every 2 columns from there on out.
