+
+Two new text positioning commands are defined: \tabto and \tab.
+ 
+\tabto{<length>} and \tabto*{<length>}
+Tab to a specified position relative to the left margin in a paragraph
+They differ when the text on the line already goes past the desired
+position: \tabto gives a line break whereas \tabto* backspaces.
+
+\tab
+Tab to the next tab-stop chosen from a list of tab positions, in
+the traditional style of typewriters. The tab-stop positions are 
+declared using either \TabPositions{<length>, <length>,...<length>}
+or \NumTabs{<number>}.
