[Tutor] detab to delouse before de numbers go in (groan)

[Kirk Bailey]

ok, files using taqbs confuse composition software. So we pull them out and insert 
spaces instead.

def removetabs(string1):
         outstring=''
         for x in string1:
                 if x=='\t':
                         x='    '
                 outstring=outstring+x
         return outstring

read in a file you wish to add line numbers to into a list variable, and walk the list 
with this routine. THEN do the line numbering ritual with full viking garb and chorus.

AND DON'T NUMBER LINE 1!!!!!!!!!!!
