Hello Henk,
The problem here is that the string that is passed into TabSet() has to
be a _constant_ string.  It cannot be a variable that you read in
dynamically.  You should be able to do something like this:
// TabSetMenu(): A Menu containing select variable tab stop settings.
    menu TabSetMenu()
        "1, 4, 7, 10..."
        "5, 10, 15, 20..."
        "10, 20, 40, 60..."
    end
// SetVarTabs():
//
// - Display the TabSetMenu()
// - Use the selected Item to set the variable tab stops.
    proc SetVarTabs()
        integer WhichString
        TabSetMenu()
        WhichString = MenuOption
        if WhichString
            Case WhichString
                when 1 Set(VarTabs, TabSet("1 4 7 10"))
                when 2 Set(VarTabs, TabSet("5 10 15 20"))
                when 3 Set(VarTabs, TabSet("10 20 40 60"))
            EndCase
        endif
    end
       SetVarTabs()
