When you first turn on the MPS 1200 there are horizontal tabs set at
every eight columns-at column 8, 16, 24, and so on. If you want
htabs to be set to other columns, you can change them with the
command ESC e chr$(O) followed by the ASCII code for the tab
interval
you want, from 2 to the current line length. For example,
to set fixed htabs at every sixth column, send the command
chr$(27) "e" chr$(O) chr$(6).
Example:
10 open :l, il, 7
::;:: 0 pt·':i. n t # 1. , c h t' $. ( 2 7) "e" ctH' $ ( <) • c: h t' $ (6 )
