IMHO nothing what i would call "Tabs"... Note that exactly tabs _should_ work in Emacs is actually quite contentious (that's one of the reasons they haven't been implemented) -- Emacs has a significantly more complex model than most apps, and it's not really clear the best way to map the usual sort of tab-bar onto that model (read one of the long tortuous emacs-devel threads on this subject for details I guess)... -Miles -- ((lambda (x) (list x x)) (lambda (x) (list x x)))
