Thanx for the reply. Not sure what you meant, though. I have the lines

; TS is tab stops
df ts=8DI,16DI,24DI,32DI,40DI,48DI,56DI,64DI,72DI,80DI,88DI,96DI,104DI

which I take to be standard. At least, there's no annotation, which I
probably would have done if changing anything. Nothing else relating to
Tabs, except the RT value.
