Whoa! The original question quite correctly asked for four *space*
indentation. Changing the tab width to some non-standard value is
irrelevant, just typical confusion between the tab character in the
file (which, if other than 8 characters, can conflict with other
utilities) and the indent command that moves lines according to a
visual intentation scheme that has nothing at all to do with the tab
setting.
Also, there's no reason to suggest setting this value *globally*.
Let's just teach him to set it in the buffers he wants this special
indentation in: maybe as he gets used to normal "smart" indentation in
other modes, he'll loosen up about how he thinks indentation should
work.
