This doesn’t confuse SD- 10/l 5---it advances the paper to the next
tab position which happens to be the first tab position on the
next page. That’s nice, isn’t it?
n A one-shot vertical tab command
There’s a one-time vertical tab command that works just like
the one-time horizontal tab command. It is < ESC > “a”
CHR$(n), and it causes the paper to advance n lines. It doesn’t
change the settings of the vertical tabs.
