  WPS Tab Position

  Moves the cursor to the next or previous tab character, depending on the
  current direction.

  Steps:

     1.  To set the direction, you can press the WPS Advance key (KP0) for
         forward direction, or WPS Backup key (KP1) for reverse direction.

     2.  Press the WPS Tab Position key (KP8).

  Usage notes:

  o  If there is no tab character in the current direction, Tab Position
     moves to the nearest start of line (same as the WPS Line key).

  o  The command SET TABS MOVEMENT makes the TAB key a cursor-movement key
     ---that is, to move to the next tab stop, regardless of whether there
     are tab characters in the buffer.

  o  To make tab characters visible (appearing as a small HT during
     editing), use the command SET TABS VISIBLE.  Default is INVISIBLE.

  o  With the WPS keypad, KP8 continues a case change as follows:

     1.  Press the WPS Lower Case key (GOLD-KP3) or WPS Upper Case
         key (KP3) to change the case of the current character.

     2.  Press KP2 to continue the case change to the next tab.
