CONVERT TABS

  Replaces tab characters with the appropriate number of spaces in a range,
  a box, or the entire buffer.

  This is useful if your text will be printed or displayed on devices with
  tab stops different from your settings in EVE, but you want tables, lists,
  and other tab-aligned text to appear the same as in editing.

  Steps:

     1.  Optionally, select or find the text where you want to convert tabs
         (see help on SELECT or FIND), or put the cursor anywhere in the
         buffer in which you want to convert all the tabs.

     2.  Use the CONVERT TABS command.

  Usage notes:

  o  Box editing (such as copying, cutting, or filling a box) converts tabs
     in the box to spaces to keep the column alignment of the text. In some
     cases, EVE converts tabs to the right of the box as well.

  o  If SET BOX SELECT is in effect, CONVERT TABS treats a found range like
     a box selection---see help on Ranges And Boxes.

  o  If you do not select or find text, CONVERT TABS works on the entire
     current buffer. Also, if the cursor is on a tab character, CONVERT TABS
     moves the cursor to the right. Otherwise, it does not move the cursor.

  o  If you prefer TAB to insert spaces rather than a tab character, use the
     command SET TABS SPACES.
