VERTICAL TABS (VT ABS)
Vertical (and horizontal) tabs can be set in two different ways: as
fixed tabs, and as variable tabs. You can also move a distance
relative to
your current position with a relative vtab. Still another
command lets you set vertical tab channels for flexibility with
multi-page forms. In this manual, vertical tabs are referred to as
vtabs.

Vertical tabs move down the page by lines. They are useful when
working with forms or to leave space for pictures or diagrams in
your text. Vtabs are unaffected by changes in line spacing. The
spacing for vtabs is determined by the line spacing in effect when
they are set. If the line spacing is later changed, the vtabs are
unaffected.
The MPS 1200's vtab command is chr$(ll). Unlike horizontal tabs,
vtabs have
no default settings. When you first turn on the MPS
1200, a vtab advances the paper one line.
