Description: A program displays some data in columns and then asks for information at the end of the line with an INPUT statement. The user submits the input by hitting RETURN. This sends the cursor back to column 1 on the screen, but the TAB count is not reset.
Example:
10 REM TAB count is not reset after INPUT statement
20 REM Program asks for input at end of line of information
30 PRINT TAB(10);"TEN";TAB(20);"XX";TAB(30);30;TAB(40);"TYPE HERE:";TAB(60);
40 INPUT A$
50 GOTO 30
