It's a source code-navigation feature. When maintaining source code you
often find yourself jumping from one procedure to another - the tags
feature is intended to help that process. It usually consists of two
parts e.g.

1. An alphabetical index list to the procedure declarations in a
program. 

2. If you select one of the procedures in the list the system will
position the cursor at the heading of that procedure declaration in the
source code file.
