This is kludgy, but it works.

Wave> tabchar = '\x09'
Wave> z = [[1,4,7],[2,5,8],[3,6,9]]
Wave> status = dc_write_free('/tmp/junk.txt', z, /Col, Delim = tabchar)

But /tmp/junk.txt has spaces, as well as the tab characters you wanted.
So pull a Deus Ex Machina out of a hat, and strip off the spaces
using Perl:

% perl -pe 's/ //g' /tmp/junk.txt >/tmp/junk.txt.new

And there's your rabbit.
