    I want to modify the _default_ value for tab-stop-list from an
interval of 8,16,24,... to 4,8,12,... 

    I know this can be done interactively using M-x edit-tab-stops,
but I'd prefer to actually change the default.

    Can you please tell me how to go about this? I think I should be
specifying a default value in my .emacs file, but the syntax escapes
me.

    Thanks.

    Michael
