I found that the Python distribution includes a script to reformat indentation to the recommended 4 spaces. By default, the location is C:\Python25\Tools\Scripts\reindent.py I have now posted a December 17 update of EdSharp where the PyDent command uses whatever indentation one has specified with the IndentUnit configuration option. Because .ini file reading functions think there is no value when it consists only of blank spaces, you have to use octal or hex escape characters to specify 4 spaces. You could enter \40\40\40\40 or \x20\x20\x20\x20 Jamal __________ View the list's information and change your settings at //www.freelists.org/list/programmingblind
