Add one more line to the program to demonstrate one more feature of vertical tabs.

80 LPRINT CHR$(ll);“FIFTHH TAB.”

Now

when you run the program

the first page

looks

just like

 

before,

but

line 80 sends one more

< VT > than

there

are tabs.

 

This doesn’t confuse the printer - it advances the paper to

 

the next tab

position, which happens to be the first tab

position

-

on the

next

page.

 

 

 

 

There’s a one-time vertical tab command that works just like the one-time horizontal tab command. Try this program to see how these commands work.
