[TxMt] Hard tabs, soft tabs, oh my

It's worked very well for me so far, usually in editors when you say  
you want soft tab stops at 4 spaces it leaves hard tabs at 8.

I was afraid you were going to say that :)

Is there a way to provide an argument to changeTabsToSpaces: in the  
macro recorder for stop size?  Macro recording doesn't seem to notice  
when I change the tab stop, it's a pain to change the stops to 8,  
convert, then change back to 4 each time.  And the macro is marked  
read-only (sorry, I'm still a TM n00b).  I'd like to change files  
only as needed, and not have to drop to the shell to do a sed on it.
