Ray -

SEU doesn't do TABs like PC or Unix-based editors...I think you'll need CODE
for this functionality...

In SEU (or any other application), the TAB key essentially moves the cursor
between fields on the screen, placing it into the first position of the next
screen field.  The SEU source edit screen has three basic types of fields:
The command line at the top (with only one occurrence), and the source Seq#
and source statement fields (both of which occur multiple times on the
display).

When you start SEU, the cursor will be in the SEU==> ____________ field (the
SEU command line) at the top of the display.

If you press TAB, the cursor will move to the next field, which is the Seq#
field for the first source statement shown.  Pressing TAB again places the
cursor in the first source statement.  Press it again, and the cursor will
move to the Seq# field for the next source statement, and so on...
