     Tabstops (Text)
 
     The Tabstops switch specifies variable tab stops used by the Tab
     and Backtab functions. Tab moves the cursor to the next tab stop;
     Backtab moves the cursor to the previous tab stop.
     See: Backtab, Tab
 
     NOTE: The Tabstops switch has no effect on the handling of tab
           (ASCII 9) characters in a file.
           See: Entab, Filetab, Realtabs
 
     Syntax
 
     Tabstops: [tabwidth]... repeat
 
     <tabwidth>    The width of a tab stop.
 
                   You can repeat <tabwidth> for as many tab stops as
                   will fit on a PWB line (250 characters).
 
     <repeat>      The width of every tab stop after the explicitly
                   listed tab stops.
 
     A value of 0 for <repeat> specifies that there are no tab stops
     after the list of <tabwidth> settings. When the cursor is past the
     last tab stop, the Tab function does nothing.
 
     Default
 
     Tabstops:4
 
     Update
 
     In PWB 1.x, Tabstops is a numeric switch specifying a single
     value, equivalent to the <repeat> value in PWB 2.0.
 
     The Default PWB 2.0 Tabstops setting mimics the Default behavior
     of PWB 1.x.
