Comments:

This command allows setting of up to 32 horizontal tabs. These are entered as n1, n2, n3 etc. (in the range 1 to 255) with ASCII 0 as the terminator. The tab settings n1, n2, n3 etc. must be entered in ascending order. If nl = 0, all tabs are cleared. Tab settings are not affected by character width. With proportional printing, tab settings are based on the character width of pica print.
