Of course, RHIDE leaves the TABs you type intact, as in fact does any
reasonable programmer's editor out there. You just happened to have a
bad start with the two editors that don't.
Either RHIDE, or SET's editor, or Emacs, or DFE, or any other editor will
do.
And btw, there's nothing ``special'' about TABs required by Make: you
just need to begin every command line in a rule with a single TAB
character. This is explained in the Make's manual.
