We are wondering if anyone has had any success setting tabstops in the  
Text object.  A few months back, we saw a similar request for help, but  
never noticed a response.  It seems that setParaStyle works, but whenever  
we add more text to our monoFont Text object, the tabs disappear, forcing  
us to call setParaStyle again.  The task in question is the periodic  
reporting of some data in a Window;  after a period of time, when there is  
quite a bit of text, the need to add the tabs after each new text addition  
(and the subsequent automatic reformatting of all the text) bogs the whole  
application down horribly.  

Any information would be appreciated.
