This is good for a cd command, but be careful about generalizing to
putting anything in the 630 header. expr will report 10 as the
length of "word\tword". echo produces 9. Interesting results can
result in the header.
Also the '2' in '2v' in the echo sequence can be:
0: left justify
1: center
2: right justify
