RTF document headers

Question

I need to write a line of RTF that will create a header in APA style. That is, the title is to be left-flushed and the page number right-flush. How do I split that up? This, for example, gives me everything right-flushed:

{\header \pard\qr THE TITLE \chpgn \par}

I'm not too familiar with hand-writing RTF, but from the specification it looks like you can do the following:

Create a table row with two cells (paragraphs)
Make the first cell left-aligned, this will be contain the title
Make the second cell right-aligned, this will contain the page number

You can achieve this by using a tab stop, at the far right of the page, and right align that tab stop.

{\header \pard\tx9972\tqr THE TITLE \tab\chpgn \par}

\tx9972 says to set the position of the tab stop to 9972 twips.
\tqr says tab stop right aligned
\tab insert a tab
