OUTLINE

Cancels all current vertical tab positions and sets new vertical
tab positions at lines n1, n2, etc., where n1, n2, etc. are
numbers between 1 and 255. A maximum of 16 vertical tab
positions can be set. Tab positions must be specified in
ascending order; any violation of ascending order terminates
the tab position list. Standard termination is by the <0>
control code. Vertical tab positions are set in terms of the
current line spacing and do not move if the line spacing is
changed later.

NOTE

If a tab set position <nk> is equivalent or smaller than
<nk–1> just preceding the tab set position, setting of vertical
tab is assumed as complete.
