DEFINE VERTICAL
TAB CHANNELS
This command establishes up to 16 vertical tab stops in up
to eight different channels. The different channels may be
accessed as necessary to use in different situations. The
<ESC>b command does not move the current print posi-
tion. This command is useful for jobs needing multiple
sets of tab stops. In the command,
x
is any number from
0-7 and defines the channel being set, n 1 is a number rep-
resenting the line location of the first tab stop, n2 is the
line number of the second tab stop, etc. The command
must be terminated by "<NUL>".
Examples:
<ESC>bO<VT><SYN><NUL>
<ESC>b3<VT><SYN>!,<NUL>
