TAB Function
TAB (number)
Spaces to position number on the display.
Number must be in the range 1 to 255 and specifies the charac-
ter position

rightmost position
is the set width minus 1 (WIDTH-1).
If the current print position is already beyond space number,
TAB goes to that position on the next line.
You cannot use TAB
to move the cursor to the left.
You cannot use TAB more than once in
a print list.
You may use TAB only with the PRINT and LPRINT
statements.
