I like the idea behind both these fixes, but is it really easier to 
set the shell variable than to just change the command itself?  I 
think the first idea makes more sense.

I guess there are other OPML readers, but OO is the most egregious in 
not supporting a 'paste tabbed text as outline' command. If they were 
as responsive as Allan (or that guy writing TAO), the command would 
exist in the next week, and the need for this command would be much 
less.  :)

best, Eric
