On a Positive Note...

I just realized that gopher does not do tabs well. The only time I've
really used them here is when I center the title at the top of the
article. Vim uses tabs and spaces when centering. Looks great in Vim,
but not in gopher.

'expand' command to the rescue. A simple 'expand file.txt>file.x&&rm
file.txt&&mv file.x file.txt' seems to do the trick.
