Radix User's Manual
(ESC) "P" is the command to set vertical tabs. Like the hori-
zontal tab setting command, tab positions must be defined in
ascending order. Our example sets vertical tabs at lines 10,20,40
and 50. Then the
CHR$(ll)
in each of the following lines advances
the paper to the next vertical tab. The printout is shown below.
Add one more line to the program to demonstrate one more
feature of vertical tabs.

60 LPRINT CHR$(ll) "Fifth tab."
Now when you run the program the first page looks just like
before, but line 60 sends one more (VT) than there are tabs. This
doesn't confuse Radix-it advances the paper to the next tab posi-
tion which happens to be the first tab position on the next page.
That's nice, isn't it?
First

Second
tab.
