Thanks for the tips again --

For the timeout, I'm still undecided if I want to put the extra effort in calculating the total time elapsed, or just deal with it the new way... For now I think I'll just reduce the timeouts. Something tells me this is better.

And for the tabs, I just happened to copy the text from a machine where I didn't have vi aliased to vim... it wasn't reading my .vimrc( "set tabstop=4" ) :-)
