TAB

Action: The TAB function moves the cursor to a relative SPC move position on the screen given by the <numeric> argument, starting with the left-most position of the current line. The value of the argument can range from 0 to 255. The TAB function should only be used with the PRINT statement, since it has no effect if used with PRINT# to a logical file.

   100 PRINT"NAME" TAB(25) "AMOUNT": PRINT
   110 INPUT#1, NAM$, AMT$
   120 PRINT NAM$ TAB(25) AMT$
