     Filetab (Numeric)
 
     The Filetab switch determines the width of a tab field for
     displaying tab (ASCII 9) characters in the file. The width of a tab
     field determines how white space is translated according to the
     Entab and Realtabs switches.
     See: Entab, Realtabs, ◄How Tabs are Displayed►
 
     The Filetab switch does not affect the cursor-movement functions
     Tab («tab») and Backtab («backtab»).
