Default tab stops are set at every eighth column, i.e. column 9, 17, 25, 33, 41, etc. The tab stops set by this
escape sequence will be added to previously set tab stops, including the default tab stops. If this is not
desired, the old tab stops should first be cleared.
Example: The following escape sequence will set horizontal tab stops at five column intervals.
