EVE TAB — VMS 5.2

 TAB

 Inserts a tab at the current editing position, according to the current
 tab stops of the buffer and the tab mode.

 Steps:

    1.  Put the cursor where you want to insert a tab.

    2.  Press the TAB key.

 o  The cursor and any existing text moves to the right.  The cursor stays
    on the same character as the text moves.  If you have set the tab mode
    to MOVEMENT, only the cursor moves.

 o  To set tab stops for the buffer, use SET TABS AT or SET TABS EVERY, or
    use the WPS Ruler key (GOLD/R).  The default tab stops are every 8.

 o  To set tab modes, use SET TABS INSERT, MOVEMENT, or SPACES, and SET
    TABS VISIBLE or INVISIBLE.  The default settings are INSERT and
    INVISIBLE.

 o  To find out the tab stops of the current buffer, use the SHOW command.
