Haha, I know my ASCII chart very well, I dare say better then most here, probably comes from way to much assembly coding in the late 80's but since then I got lazy . But if @crlf is in I don't see the problem with building in this super mini thingy of @tab. On the other hand, quite a few macros can be "killed" since they are present as an environment variable or can be UDF'd in 1 or 2 lines of code. But, the 'vote' counts I guess...
