Setting the Tab Stops in the Profile
You can use the TEDIT TAB and BACKTAB keys, as well as the RETURN
key, to scroll the file to the left and right if you have set tab stops at column
numbers that are both higher and lower than the 80 columns that fit on the
screen. Then, for example, if you tab to column 150, the text scrolls to the
left so that TEDIT can place the cursor on column 150. It usually saves time
to use
RETURN , TAB, and BACKTAB rather than using the LEFTSCROLL
and RIGHTSCROLL commands.
Using the column headings you just typed to show you where to set tab
stops, put the tab stops in the profile now so you can see how the scrolling
feature works. Use RULER again if you do not remember the column
numbers where each heading starts (or refer to the example profile at the
end of this section and use the numbers shown there). You can either type
the tab stops on the RECONFIGURE OPTIONS screen or you can use the
SETPROFILE command discussed next.
To set the tab stops on the RECONFIGURE OPTIONS screen, press
RECONFIGURE OPTIONS and type the column numbers in the Tab Stops
field. Press *C to return to the file.
Highlight Using the SETPROFILE Command to Set Tab Stops
You can save time by using the SETPROFILE command to change the
settings in the profile from the *C response line instead of making the
changes on the RECONFIGURE OPTIONS or the RECONFIGURE
FUNCTION-KEYS screen.
