Tab is one of those special characters that you can't write with a pen - unless you use the built-in wordlist of the Newton to expand a special character into a tab.
If you use Cursive handwriting recognition an abbreviation can work well. Something like "tb" works for me. However, I usually use Print recognition, which means you have all sorts of special caracters you can use. I chose to have the "cedilla" expanded to a tab (it's a C with a tail below it, which only requires two pen strokes). There's actually a number of special characters that are good for this sort of expansion. Newton's Rosetta engine can interpret a paragraph mark, the cents symbol, yen sign, pound sterling, etc.
You can get to the Word list from the on-screen keyboard. Just select the Information button and tell it to open the word list.

Subject: [NTLK] Inserting tabs in notes w/o keyboard?
Is there any way to insert a tab into a note without using the
keyboard. I have studied the pdf version of the 130 manual and it seems
that only return and space can be inserted via tapping the caret.
Perhaps there's one of the many enhancement to Works that offers this
capability? TIA
