left edge.
Press the TAB key once.
SCREEN 3
Then press the CONTROL and TAB keys at the
same time.
Nothing happened, right? Actually,
the tab stop at that spot has been erased. Press
TAB again and use the CONTROL and TAB key
combination to erase another tab stop. Now, re-
turn to the left edge by pressing the RETURN
key, and then press TAB .
The cursor makes a giant leap across half the
screen, bypassing the tab stops
which were just
erased.
SCREEN 4
Now that we know how to erase tab stops,
we'd better learn how to set them.
Press the RETURN key. Now, press the
SPACEBAR once and then the SHIFT and TAB
key combination. Do this many times, alternat-
ing
between the SPACEBAR and the SHIFT and
TAB key combination. Now press RETURN
again. Every time you press TAB now the cursor
will move just one character position to the
right.
