Thanks everybody, I found a perfect solution. I need this for a new Thor tool I'm working on, so I have access to all of Thor's framework.

#Define ccTab Chr(9)
If Execscript(_Screen.cThorDispatcher, 'Thor_Proc_BeautifyOption', 4) = 1
  Return ccTab
Else
  Return Space(Execscript(_Screen.cThorDispatcher, 'Thor_Proc_BeautifyOption', 3))
Endif
