This sequence sets vertical tabulations in the VFU channel specified by the parameter m.

The VFU channel can be imagined as a blank page where you can set up to 16 vertical
tabulations in order to format your page as you like. 8 channels are available and in each of
them you can create a sample page that you can recall later. n

specify the lines at which

vertical tabulations must be set.

The values of n must be in ascending order. If you change the vertical spacing, the vertical
tabulations set are not cancelled and they maintain their physical position on the page.

The vertical tabulations set in the channel specified by the m parameter are executed by the VT
code when the

specific channel is selected by the ESC / command, this code is executed as a line

feed.
