Entering tab into text wave in a table

Hello all,

I have a text wave in a table and I'd like to enter a tab into one of the points of the text wave. For example, I'd like textw[0] to be "abcTABdef".

If I try to hit tab directly in the table, Igor interprets that as "I'm done editing this cell, move the cursor to the right". I've also tried control-tab, shift-tab, \t, and \\t. Is there a simple key combination?

Known work-arounds:
- Go to the command line and assign the value, e.g.: textw[0] ="abcTABdef"
- Copy a tab to the clipboard and then paste it while editing the cell in the table

I'm actually quite content with that second work-around, but I only figured it out after writing all the above. So I'm proceeding with the question!

I'm using Igor Pro 6.22A, Win XP.

Thanks,
Henry
