OK. What's the secret formula for making the editor keep the spaces we type? I've never found a solution to that problem.

Anonymous what's the difference between see, look, watch?See is by chance, a reflex action.
Look (at) is a conscious decision, an act of volition.
Watch is to look at a moving object or scene.
They all have their idiomatic uses as well.
