ARPUS/ce, Version 2.6.2 (03/10/05) (SCCS 1.5) _______________________________________________________________________________ ts [n1 [n2 ...] -r] "tab set" DESCRIPTION: Use 'ts' to set tab stops. This command can take one of several forms: ts remove all tab stops; this has the effect of setting a tab stop at every column starting with column 1 ts c1 c2 ... cn set a tab stop at the columns specified by c1, c2, ..., cn. ts c1 c2 ... cn -r set a tab stop at the columns specified by c1, c2, ..., cn; the '-r' tells ts to repeat the last interval in the list; for example "ts 5 10 20 -r" would cause ts to place tab stops at 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, .... ts c1 -r here the first tab stop is assumed to be 0, so the interval becomes c1; for example, 'ts 8 -r' would cause ts to place tab stops at 8, 16, 24, .... ts never appends tab stops to its current list; every use of ts replaces the current list of tab stops with a new list. The default ts setting is '4 8 -r'. The tab stops can be set from the X resource Ce.tabstops. This resource is described in the xresource help page. On Sun workstations, ts should be set as follows in the .Xdefaults file: ceterm.tabstops : ts 9 17 -r This appears to be what the ls(1) command needs.
