Comments:

Sets the left margin to n columns in the current pitch. Settings made in the proportional mode are treated as 10 pitch. This command clears previous tab settings and all previous characters in the print line. Use lowercase 1 (for left), not the numeral one. The minimum space between the margins is the width of one double-wide 10 pitch character.
