SET DEFAULT SECTION FILE
Format
SET DEFAULT SECTION FILE section-file
Parameter
section-file
The name of the section file you want EVE to use by default. The
default file type is .TPU$SECTION. If you use SET DEFAULT SECTION FILE
and do not specify a file name on the command line, EVE prompts you.
The prompt shows the name of the current, default section file, if one
is set. If you have not already set a default section file, the prompt
shows SYS$LOGIN:EVE$SECTION.TPU$SECTION.
Description
The SET DEFAULT SECTION FILE command determines the section file that
EVE creates to save attributes, key definitions, and other
customizations. You do not need to specify the section file each time
you invoke EVE. SET DEFAULT SECTION FILE does not determine the section
file loaded at startup. Instead, it determines only the section file
created for saving attributes and menu entries.
For more information about using section files, read the online help
topic called Section Files.
The following table shows the effects of SET DEFAULT SECTION FILE,
depending on whether you save attributes by enabling or disabling
section file prompting:
|
Prompt Settings
|
Effects with SET DEFAULT SECTION FILE
|
SET SECTION FILE PROMPTING
(default)
|
When you save attributes, EVE asks whether you want to save them in a
section file. If you respond YES, EVE saves the attributes in your
default section file.
|
|
SET NOSECTION FILE PROMPTING
|
When you save attributes, EVE saves them in your default section file
without prompting you.
|
These effects apply when you use either SAVE ATTRIBUTES or SAVE SYSTEM
ATTRIBUTES or when you save attributes as part of exiting or quitting.
For more information, read the online help topic on Attributes.

SAVE EXTENDED EVE
SAVE SYSTEM ATTRIBUTES
Example
The following commands set your default section file as
MYSECT.TPU$SECTION in your top-level login directory and then create
that section file (or a new version of that file):
|
Command: SET DEFAULT SECTION FILE SYS$LOGIN:MYSECT
Command: SAVE EXTENDED EVE
|
SET EXIT ATTRIBUTE CHECK
Format
SET EXIT ATTRIBUTE CHECK
Description
The SET EXIT ATTRIBUTE CHECK command enables attribute checking on
exiting so that if you set attributes, EVE asks whether you want to
save your customizations. This is the default. If SET EXIT ATTRIBUTE
CHECK is in effect, then on exiting, EVE checks if you have changed
attributes during the editing session and not yet saved them. If so,
then EVE prompts you as follows:
Command: EXIT
Attributes were changed. Save them [YES]?
|
If you want to save your settings, press the Return key. EVE then does
a SAVE ATTRIBUTES before continuing with the exit. Depending on your
other settings or responses to prompts, you save them in a section file
or in a DECTPU command file. If you do not want to save your settings,
type NO and press Return. EVE then continues exiting.

SET FILL NOTAGS
Format
SET FILL NOTAGS
Description
The SET FILL NOTAGS command prevents the FILL commands from wrapping
lines that start with either a RUNOFF command or a VAX DOCUMENT tag.
SET FILL NOTAGS adds to the list of paragraph boundaries any RUNOFF
command or VAX DOCUMENT tag at the start of a line. This prevents FILL,
FILL PARAGRAPH, and FILL RANGE from wrapping lines that start with
those commands or tags. Blank lines and page breaks are still
recognized as paragraph boundaries.
The setting applies in all buffers but is not saved in a section file
or command file. If you want to keep SET FILL NOTAGS for future editing
sessions, put the command in an initialization file. For more
information on initialization files, see the online help on
Initialization Files.
SET FILL NOTAGS is the default setting in EVE.

SET FILL TAGS
Format
SET FILL TAGS
Description
The SET FILL TAGS command enables the FILL commands to wrap lines that
start with either a RUNOFF command or a VAX DOCUMENT tag. SET FILL TAGS
removes from the list of paragraph boundaries any RUNOFF command or VAX
DOCUMENT tag at the start of a line. This lets FILL, FILL PARAGRAPH,
and FILL RANGE wrap lines that start with those commands or tags. Blank
lines and page breaks are still recognized as paragraph boundaries.
If you use SET FILL TAGS, you may want to redefine FILL keys---such as
GOLD-KP8 with the EDT keypad---as FILL RANGE. This avoids accidentally
filling a large block of text (or an entire buffer) that does not have
blank lines or page breaks, making the text hard to read or causing
errors with RUNOFF or DOCUMENT processing.
The setting applies in all buffers but is not saved in a section file
or command file. If you want to keep SET FILL TAGS for future editing
sessions, put the command in an initialization file. For more
information on initialization files, see THE online help on
Initialization Files.
The default is SET FILL NOTAGS; EVE does not fill lines of text that
start with a RUNOFF command or a VAX DOCUMENT tag.

SET FIND CASE EXACT
Format
SET FIND CASE EXACT
Description
The SET FIND CASE EXACT command enables case-exact searches. This is
useful to find or replace lowercase occurrences only. SET FIND CASE
EXACT applies to the FIND, REPLACE, and WILDCARD FIND commands.
The default is SET FIND CASE NOEXACT. EVE searches for any occurrence
if you enter a string in lowercase and an exact match if you enter it
in uppercase or mixed case.
The setting applies in all buffers. To save your setting, use SAVE
ATTRIBUTES to create a section file or to create or update a command
file. For more information, read the online help topic on Attributes.

SET FIND CASE NOEXACT
Format
SET FIND CASE NOEXACT
Description
The SET FIND CASE NOEXACT command disables case-exact searches so that
EVE finds any occurrence if you enter the search string in all
lowercase. This is the default. SET FIND CASE NOEXACT applies to FIND,
REPLACE, and WILDCARD FIND. The setting applies in all buffers. To
enable case-exact searches (when you want to find or replace lowercase
occurrences only) use the SET FIND CASE EXACT command.

SET FIND NOWHITESPACE
Format
SET FIND NOWHITESPACE
Description
The SET FIND NO WHITESPACE command enables FIND and WILDCARD FIND
commands to match spaces and tabs exactly as specified in the search
string and to search for multiword strings that do not cross lines.
This is the default.
If you want EVE to treat spaces, tabs, and up to one line break as
"white space," use the SET FIND WHITESPACE command. Some
WILDCARD FIND patterns may override the setting. For example, with
OpenVMS-style wildcards, two asterisks (**) match any amount of text
crossing lines and \W matches any amount of white space.
The setting applies in all buffers but is not saved in your
section file or command file.

SET FIND WHITESPACE
Format
SET FIND WHITESPACE
Description
The SET FIND WHITESPACE command enables FIND and WILDCARD FIND commands
to treat spaces, tabs, and up to one line break as "white
space." With SET FIND WHITESPACE, you can search for a string of
two or more words, regardless of how they are separated. The default is
SET FIND NOWHITESPACE. EVE matches spaces and tabs in the search string
exactly, and search strings do not span a line break.
The setting applies in all buffers but is not saved in a
section file or command file. To keep your setting for future editing
sessions, put the command in an initialization file (EVE$INIT.EVE).

This does not override any definitions of the keys, whether the EVE
default, EDT keypad, WPS keypad, or definitions done with DEFINE KEY or
LEARN. Learn sequences created before you enabled Motif function keys
may not replay properly because the keys are now defined. To disable
the keys, use the command SET FUNCTION KEYS NOMOTIF.
Shifted function keys work in DECwindows but not on character-cell
terminals, such as a VT220 or VT100.
For more information about using EVE in DECwindows, see the online help
topic on DECwindows Differences.
There are two ways to keep your setting for future editing sessions:
- Put the SET FUNCTION KEYS MOTIF command in an initialization file.
- Use the SAVE EXTENDED EVE command to create a section file that
saves your key definitions.

SET FUNCTION KEYS NOMOTIF
Description
The SET FUNCTION KEYS NOMOTIF command cancels Motif DECwindows-style
definitions of some function keys done with the SET FUNCTION KEYS MOTIF
command.
There is no effect on keys you defined with DEFINE KEY or LEARN; for
example, if you defined ALT/E3, your definition overrides the Motif
function key definition.
Learn sequences that use DECwindows-style function keys may not replay
properly because the keys are now undefined or defined differently.

SET GOLD KEY
Format
SET GOLD KEY keyname
Parameter
keyname
The key you want to set as GOLD. If you do not specify a key name, EVE
prompts you to press the key you want to define. Pressing the Return
key or Ctrl/M at the prompt cancels the operation because those keys
cannot be redefined.
Description
The SET GOLD KEY command defines a key as the GOLD key for use with
other keys, and enables several GOLD key sequences. The GOLD key
increases the possible key bindings. For example, you can define F20 to
execute one command and define GOLD-F20 to execute another command. To
execute one function, you press F20 alone; to execute the other
function, you press GOLD and then press F20. You can also define
combinations of GOLD and a typing key, such as GOLD-C.
Setting the GOLD key, by itself or by setting the EDT or WPS keypad,
automatically defines some GOLD sequences for the arrow keys and the
minikeypad, unless you have defined the keys otherwise. Table 2-10
lists the default GOLD sequences. Some of these require a VT300- or
VT200-series terminal (for example, GOLD-Help).

SET GOLD KEY overrides any current definition of the key you specify,
whether the key is defined by EVE, the EDT keypad, the WPS keypad, or a
definition of your own. You can have only one key set as GOLD at a
time. The EDT or WPS keypad makes PF1 the GOLD key, overriding any
current definition of PF1. However, if you set a different key as the
GOLD key, then the EDT or WPS keypad uses your GOLD key. In such a
case, using the SET NOGOLD KEY command cancels your GOLD key and
restores PF1 as the GOLD key for the EDT or WPS keypad.
Key definitions remain in effect throughout your editing session or
until you redefine or undefine the keys. There are two ways to keep
your GOLD key and other key definitions for future editing sessions:
- Put SET GOLD KEY and other key-definition commands in an
initialization file (EVE$INIT.EVE).
- Use the SAVE EXTENDED EVE command to create a section file that
saves your key definitions.

Example
The following commands set PF1 as the GOLD key, and then define the
combination of GOLD and the letter C as the CENTER LINE
command. Typing a C or c by itself still inserts that
letter. In specifying a GOLD key sequence, use a dash, slash, or
underscore as a delimiter in the key name.

Command: SET GOLD KEY PF1
Command: DEFINE KEY= GOLD-C CENTER LINE

SET JOURNALING
Format
SET JOURNALING buffer
Parameter
buffer
The buffer for which you want to create a buffer-change journal file.
If you do not specify a file name, EVE prompts for one. Pressing the
Return key or the Do key at the prompt without typing anything cancels
the operation.
Description
The SET JOURNALING command enables buffer-change journaling for the
buffer you specify, creating a journal file. By default, EVE creates a
buffer-change journal file for each text buffer you create. Therefore,
you would use the SET JOURNALING command only if you had disabled
journaling either by invoking EVE with the /NOJOURNAL qualifier or by
using the SET NOJOURNALING command during your editing session.
The journal file name derives from the name of the buffer or file you
are editing and the file type .TPU$JOURNAL. For example, if you edit a
file named MEMO.TXT, the journal file is called MEMO_TXT.TPU$JOURNAL.
The journal file is created in the directory defined by the TPU$JOURNAL
logical name. The default is SYS$SCRATCH, which is your top-level login
directory.
To check the journal file name for the buffer, use the SHOW command.
You cannot enable journaling for a buffer that is modified. First write
out the buffer (by using WRITE FILE or SAVE FILE), and then enable
journaling.
To enable journaling for all your buffers, use the SET JOURNALING ALL
command.

SET JOURNALING ALL
SET NOJOURNALING

Example
The following example enables buffer-change journaling for a buffer
called TEST DATA. EVE then creates a journal file named TEST_
DATA.TPU$JOURNAL.

Command: SET JOURNALING TEST DATA
|
SET JOURNALING ALL
Format
SET JOURNALING ALL
Description
The SET JOURNALING ALL command enables buffer-change journaling for all
your text buffers. By default, EVE creates a journal file for each text
buffer you create. Use the SET JOURNALING ALL command only if you had
disabled journaling either by invoking EVE with the /NOJOURNAL
qualifier or by using the SET NOJOURNALING ALL command during your
editing session.
To check the journal file name for the current buffer, use the SHOW
command.
You cannot enable journaling for buffers that are modified. First write
out the buffers by using WRITE FILE or SAVE FILE, and then enable
journaling.
