Hi all,          I must be doing something wrong with my tabs. Because this keeps telling me parse error. Can some one see if it is indentation. I'm sending a file so as you'll be able to see what going on. If I copy it here it can appear wrong the difference is with the Var expression.

First of all, *don't mix tabs and spaces for indentation* (best, don't use tabs at all).

I find the latter a bit too restrictive, especially since I use a text editor that is a glorified version of ed.

Okay: Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy? Isn't there some editor which allows you to configure the tab settings but still is whatever-you-like-about-ed enough for you to use?

Hitting the spacebar 19 times is too much to ask of me.

And as such, I am occasionally forced to do something when a tab doesn't get me past the word `where' or `let', but isn't that the majority of what Layout specifies?

Is there a good answer for caveman programmers who like ed and tabs?

Never change your tab-width.
