[ale] Tabs in TEXTAREAS

[Geoffrey]

I don't believe this will work anyway.  When you said you are displaying 
data in a TEXTAREA, I assume you're generating html, thus, multiple 
spaces are translated to a single space in html.  Your best bet is to 
parse the buffer as you've noted, but you'll have to use something like 
multiple ' ' entries rather than actual spaces.
