To close off your box, type:
\SET BOX OFF
If TFORM comes to the end of the page before reaching the SET BOX OFF
command, it closes off the box at the bottom of the page and starts a new
box at the top of the next. If you think a box may extend over a page and
you want to indicate the continuation with an arrow in the lower right-
hand corner, simply type:
\SET BOX ON ARROW
TFORM uses hyphens and vertical bars by default to create the horizontal
and vertical sides, respectively. You can change these characters to other
characters with the DEFINE BOX command.
Using Tabs TFORM always treats the left margin as an automatic tab stop. If you want
to set up additional tab stops, use the SET TABS command. For example:
\SET TABS ON 5, 15, 25, 45
This command sets tab stops in columns 5, 15, 25, and 45.
A simple SET TABS ON command automatically sets tabs in every eighth
position:
\SET TABS ON
