This command sets up to 64 vertical tab stops (in the current line spacing). Subsequent line spacing changes do not affect these settings. The tab settings must be entered in ascending order (n1, n2, and so on); that is, the value of each succeeding n variable must be greater than the one preceding it. Any n variable with a value of 0 (00) terminates the command.
