  11. How can I get ReportWriter to output a tab (\011) char?  I want a report where
  12. the lines print out tab delineated fields.  The file will subsequently be
  13. imported into a Mac application.  I tried setting a variable, mytab, to octal
  14. 11 but the output file seems to have spaces instead of the tab char.  This is
  15. on a Sun 3 running Unix.
