[Fluxus] weird characters in draw-line help

Ah, I don't think I noticed it before. (draw-line) works great, by the way;
instant "early '90s screen-saver" fun with some blur.

Is there a reason why we don't have tabs as a character in the editor BTW?
For a moment I thought that if there is a structural issue with this we
could simply automatically convert all tabs in the "helpmap.scm" file to
spaces and be done with it, but we could also simply have tabs. This would
certainly speed up changing indentation. Do you or Dave have a special
dislike for tabs? Some people must dislike tabs as many editors have a
option not to use them; I never understood why those options are there.

Yours,
Kas.
