Not literally "<tab>" - a tab character.

In the Menu Manager, you can insert the tab character by selecting the menu
item, then clicking the right-arrow icon to the right of the menu name (its
tooltip is "Make the selected menu item into a submenu item"). If you're
building the menu in a handler, you'd use something like
  put "First Item" & tab & return & "Subitem" & return \
     & "Last Item" into button "File"
