TAB                      Tab to Specified Position

    PRINT, LPRINT, and PRINT #.

      column    A numeric expression.

   -------------------------------------------------------------------------

      Notes:    If the current print (or screen) position is already to
                the right of column, TAB moves to position column on the
                next line.

                If column is larger than the width of output device,
                TAB(column) moves to column MOD width.

                If column is less than 1, TAB(column) is treated as
                TAB(1).

                If the TAB function comes at the end of a list of data
                items in a PRINT statement, BASIC behaves as if the PRINT
                statement were terminated by a semicolon; it suppresses
                the usual carriage return and line feed.
