[lug] xemacs and indent-tabs-mode

[Ed Young]

Lugites, 

in Xemacs 20.4 the variable indent-tabs-mode is always true. I want to
set it to nil but no matter what I do, it keeps ending up being t. 

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
