Oops!!!  
	I went out to a local book store this morning and found an
ImageWriter II programming manual which has lots of examples.
The correct syntax for horizontal tabs is 
	esc(009,015,...,071. for 80 columns  
  or    esc(009,015,...,131. for 136 columns.
I hurried back to work (on a Saturday!!) and got tabs stop going in 
no time.  The User Manual for the IW II from APPLE really sucks!!!

Sorry for the false alarm and please spare me from any RTFM message!! :-)
