> The tab character takes you to the next tab stop...

I'd just like to point out that this behavior (shared by, at least,
MacWrite II and FullWrite) is incorrect by typesetting standards.  The
first tab should take you to the first tab stop, the second to the
second tab stop, etc., not the "next" one if the insertion point is
already beyond that.  In that case, the insertion point should not be
advanced at all.  FrameMaker handles this correctly.
