Anyone know how to show nonprinting characters in Mac's textedit?

I grew up using word perfect and it always, at first, had non printing character on the screen. Anyone know how to turn on nonprinting characters in text edit? non printig characters are dots for spaces, an arrow for a tab, and much more.

Thanks

You might want to try the free TextWrangler as a substitute.
