OUTLINE

Cancels all current vertical tab stops and sets new vertical tab

stops at lines

n1, n2, etc. where n1, n2, etc. are numbers

between 1 and 255. A maximum number of 16 vertical tab

positions can be set. Tab positions must be specified in

ascending order; any violation of ascending order terminates the

tab position list. Standard termination is by the <0> control code.

Vertical tab positions are set in terms of the current line spacing

and do not move if the line spacing is changed later.

NOTE

If a tab set position <nk> is equivalent or smaller than <nk -1> just

preceding the tab set position, setting of vertical tab is assumed

as complete.
