TS (TAB_SET) -- Set tab stops for all windows.
usage:  ts [n1] [n2] ... [-r]


FORMAT

  TS [n1] [n2] ... [-R]


  The TS command sets the default tab stops for all windows.  Tab stops may also
  be set from within a program using a call to the system routine PAD_$SET_TABS;
  those  set  under  program  control  override  the  tab stops set by TS within
  windows belonging to the program.

  By default, tabs are initially set every 5 spaces.

  NOTE: The DM command "=" displays the line and column numbers of  the  current
        cursor  position.    This  can  be  helpful when trying to set tab stops
        visually.


ARGUMENTS

  If no arguments are specified, a stop is set at every character on the line.

  n1 n2 ...
  (optional)         Specify tab stops.  The n values are integers  representing
                     absolute   character   positions.    They  must  appear  in
                     increasing order.  Columns are numbered starting with  one.


                     Default if omitted:  see above


OPTIONS

  -R                 Repeat the last interval.


EXAMPLES

  Command: TS 7 12 -r           (Set tabs at columns 7 and 12, and every 5
                                 spaces thereafter.)
