Example
TAB (x)
x . . . A numeric expression
The TAB function
is
used together with the PRINT statement to move the cursor
to
the
character position which is x + 1 positions from the left side
of
the screen.
(This is referred to
as
space tabulation.)

Note Tabulation can only be used
to
move the cursor to the right; therefore, nothing
happens
if
this function is used
together
with the PRINT statement when the cursor
is already
to
the
right
of
the
character position specified in (x).
