You can redirect the standard output to a file (which prevents
\fB@TABS@\fR from actually changing the tabstops),
and later \fBcat\fP the file to the screen, setting tabstops at that point.
+.PP
+These are hardware tabs, which cannot be queried rapidly by applications
+running in the terminal, if at all.
+Curses and other full-screen applications may use hardware tabs
+in optimizing their output to the terminal.
+If the hardware tabstops differ from the information in the terminal
+database, the result is unpredictable.
