Re: Newbie - Tab vs. Return

I think TABS are pretty useless in SEU. You enter TABS over a sequence 
number and press Enter, then put any character where you want the cursor to 
move to.

 Columns . . . :    1  80                                       Edit
 SEU==>
 FMT **  ...+... 1 ...+... 2 ...+... 3 ...+... 4 ...+... 5 ...+... 6
        *************** Beginning of data ***************************
TABS                                 -           -
0001.00
0002.00

You don't use the TAB key to move from one to the next, you use the Enter key.

You need to turn on tab usage in the attributes screen you get with the F13 
key.

Yuk!

Normal use of tab is to move to the next field on a green screen, field 
exit clears the contents after the cursor and goes to the next field.
