Does anyone know if "tab stops" are universal in linux, or if they're 
program independent?  Specifically, I use pico or vi as my editor (based 
on my mood), and I'd like to set my "tabs" to about 2 characters.  It 
appears that the default is like 10 characters or something; and I just 
can't spare that much screen real estate.  Would I find this setting in 
each of my apps or is it an stty thing?  If it's a global thing, would 
programs like "indent" also cater to it?

Anyone?

Much thanks,
CB
