- The chtab command adds or deletes or updates the attribute value in the input table.column for the input keyvalue.
+ The chtab command adds or deletes or updates the attribute value in the input table.column for the input keyvalue.  Normally, the given value will completely replace the current attribute value.  But if "+=" is used instead of "=", the specified value will be appended to the coma separated list of the attribute, if it is not already there.
