(ESC)“D” is the command to begin setting horizontal tabs. It must be followed by characters representing the positions that you want the tabs set. In our program we are setting tabs in col- umns 7, 14, and 21. The CHR$(O) at the end ends the string of tabs. In fact, any character that is not greater than the previous one will stop setting tabs. This means that you must put all your tab values in order, from least to greatest, or they won’t all get set.

When you run the program now it produces this:

The words are now closer together, but still evenly spaced. Turn your printer off and on again to reset the default tabs.

Suppose you need to move to a position across the page, but you only need to do it once. It doesn’t make much sense to set up a tab to use only one time. There must be an easier way - and of cause there is.

The solution is called a one-time tab. Table 4-8 show the com- mands.
