I have been trying to figure out how to do indenting when I write modules of code. I have some observations, and I wonder if anyone can suggest better strategies: I set the font to "Fixed" hoping that all characters will line up in vertical columns. All characters to except spaces, which means I can't use spaces to indent efficiently. When I use Tabs to indent, they increment the cursor position in the desired one character width at a time. However, when I print the code, it all appears flush up against the left margin of the cell. Finally, is there a way to get the indentation to automatically go to under the first character of the line above, like a typical programming editor for C and similar languages? -- _______________________ Christopher R.
