[lug] xemacs and indent-tabs-mode

[Ed Young]

Lugites, 

in Xemacs 20.4 the variable indent-tabs-mode is always true, but I want
it nil so that tabs are inserted as a series of spaces. 
According to the GNU Emacs manual v20, p189, this is a per buffer
variable, but you can set it up as a default variable. 


In order to do this I hav in my .emacs file I have the following at the
end: 

	;; this will make sure spaces are used instead of tabs
	(setq indent-tabs-mode nil)

yet when I invoke xemacs and then in the *scratch* buffer eval-buffer I
get 
t

How do I set indent-tabs-mode to nil?

Thanx, 

Ed
