The example for the TAB function on Page 369 of the "Microsoft
QuickBASIC 4.5: BASIC Language Reference" for Version 4.50 is
incorrect. The output for the first display is in Column 1 when it
should be in Column 7.

This is not an error in the following:

1. The on-line help for the QuickBASIC 4.50 environment

2. The on-line help for the BASIC PDS 7.00 QuickBASIC Extended
   environment

3. The "Microsoft BASIC Compiler 6.0: BASIC Language Reference" for
   Versions 6.00 and 6.00b for MS OS/2 and MS-DOS

4. The "Microsoft BASIC 7.0: BASIC Language Reference" manual for
   Version 7.00

5. The "Microsoft QuickBASIC 4.0: BASIC Language Reference" manual for
   Versions 4.00 and 4.00b

The output on Page 369 should correctly show

       one
               two
three
0123456789012345678901234567890
                    four

to correspond to the code given for the TAB function.
