Could it be that "TAB()" could always be part of "PRINT", not like "LEFT$()" which could be at RHS in assignment as well as its result being printed? What if this "trick" is done with "PRINT USING" or "PRINT #1, USING" or alike?
But with other non-spaced functions, like left$( (which are also ignored until a space is inserted), if I insert a space I'm offered a choice of explanation for the $ sign or for String, neither of which is what I need. This also happens with Mid$( and Left$( and others.
