assumed to be in strictly ascending order. A tab out of order terminates the command
string as if it were 00, and remaining tab values are taken as normal data.

Set the tab positions in ascending order and put Hex 00 at the end.
Hex 1B 44 00 (number of tabs not specified) clears all tab positions.

MSComm1.Output = Chr$(&H1B) & Chr$(&H44) & Chr$(&H00)
Exceptions:
The tabs cannot be set higher than the column width of the current pitch.
