Set Tabs At or Every

  Sets tab stops for the buffer you are editing.

  Steps:

     1.  Click M1 on Set Tabs Every or on Set Tabs At.

     2.  Type the number or numbers for the tab stops. For example, the
         following entry sets tab stops at columns 11, 21, 31, and so on:

            Set Tabs Every: 10

  Usage notes:

  o  With Set Tabs Every, you specify the interval you want for all tab
     stops. Default tab stops are EVERY 8 columns (that is, columns 9, 17,
     25, 31, and so on).

  o  With Set Tabs At, you specify the columns at which you want tab stops.
     These must be in ascending order, separated by spaces---for example:

        Set Tabs At: 6 14 30

  o  Changing the tab stops affects any existing tabs in the buffer, so you
     may see your text move to the left or right depending on how much you
     increase or decrease tab stops.

  o  To set the same tab stops for all your buffers, put SET TABS AT or SET
     TABS EVERY in an initialization file (typically named EVE$INIT.EVE) and
     use that file when you invoke EVE---see help on Initialization Files.
     For example, if you prefer tabs every 10 columns instead of every 8,
     put SET TABS EVERY 10 in your initialization file. See help on
     Defaults.

  o  Tab stops are not stored in the output file. Therefore, in printing or
     displaying the file, tab-aligned text may not appear the same as during
     editing, depending on the tab stops set for the printer or display
     device. You may want to use CONVERT TABS to replace tab characters with
     spaces.
