1 HELP Obtain this help information. To use your own help library redirect the logical name EXTENDED_EVE_HELP to point to it. 1 SPELL The SPELL command will check the spelling of words in a specified range or type of file. If a range is specified the file is assumed to be a text file and all word are spell checked. If a particular type type of file is specified only some lines/word will be checked for spelling. For example, the spelling checker know a little about FORTRAN syntax and will only spell check comments and character constants. Note: only the first character (upper or lower case) of the parameter BUFFER, PARAGRAPH, FORTRAN, etc. needs to be entered. The SPELL command notifies the user that it is loading the dictionaries. A warning message is displayed if the project and/or the user dictionary is not found. Execution is terminated if the common dictionary can not be found. Each word is displayed in reverse video as it is checked. If the word can not be found in any of the dictionaries the prompt "Enter Replacement Word :" is displayed. At this point the user has several options. They may enter a carriage return which accepts the current spelling of the word. They may enter one or more characters (followed by a carriage return) to be substituted for the word. They may also may enter a CRTL Z which stops the spell checking activity and return back to the normal edit mode. 2 BUFFER To spell check the entire buffer enter SPELL, SPELL BUFFER or SPELL B. Every word in the buffer will be spell checked. Words do not span across the end of line boundary. 2 HERE To spell check the buffer starting at the beginning of the line that the cursor is currently on enter SPELL HERE or SPELL H. Words do not span across the end of line boundary. 2 PARAGRAPH To spell check the current paragraph enter SPELL PARAGRAPH or SPELL P. Paragraphs are delimited by blank lines, beginning or end of buffer. Every word in the paragraph will be spell checked. Words do not span across the end of line boundary. 2 C To spell check a C source code file enter SPELL C. Only comments are spell checked. A comment is everything starting with "/*" and ending with "*/". 2 DCL To spell check a DCL command file enter SPELL DCL or SPELL D. Only comments are are spell checked. A comments is everything after a "!" on a line. 2 FORTRAN To spell check a FORTRAN source code file enter SPELL FORTRAN or SPELL F. Only comments and character constants will be checked. A comment is any line with a 'C' in column one or everything after a '!' on a line. A string constant is anything delimited by single quote marks on a line. Two passes through the file are made. The first checks comments and the second checks character constants. 2 MACRO To spell check a MACRO source code file enter SPELL MACRO or SPELL M. Only comments are spell checked. A comment is is everything after a ";" on a single line. 2 RNO To spell check a RUNOFF source file enter SPELL RUNOFF or SPELL R. Spell check every line except those with a period in column one. 1 LOAD The LOAD command creates a new buffer and fills it with the words in the user dictionary. If no user dictionary is found the buffer is filled with a default set of words. After filling the new buffer, the buffer may be edited (changed) to reflect the users current needs. 1 UPDATE The UPDATE command initialize the user dictionary and fills it with the words found in the current buffer. If no user dictionary exists one is created. If one already exists it is over-written. The words are inserted into the user dictionary in lexical sort order. If the current buffer was created by the LOAD command the user returns back to the previous buffer. If an error occurs during the update step the user dictionary may be left in an undefined state. Stop and correct the problem. 1 BULLET The BULLET command formats a paragraph into bullet type form. The first non-blank word is the bullet item. All other text makes up the bullet text. A formatted bullet has the following form: item text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text text ^ ^^ ^ | || | | |+----------- TEXT LEFT AND RIGHT MARGINS ------------+ | | ->| |<----- ITEM SPACE | +----------- ITEM LEFT MARGIN The BULLET command has the following forms: Commands Description BULLET Format a bullet using the defined margins BULLET X Display the bullet margins that are currently set (X is any non numeric string) BULLET 10 Redefine the bullet item space to 10 (the text left margin is adjusted so that the item space = 10) and then format a bullet BULLET 2 4 60 Redefine the item left margin to 2, the text margins to 4 thru 60 and then format a bullet. 1 DATE Insert the current system date at the current cursor location. 1 LIFE Play the game of life. The number of generations may be entered as part of the command, otherwise the game will prompt the user for it. For example: LIFE or LIFE n All nonblank characters will be translated to '*'s when the the game starts. The buffer should be VERY SHORT and not have many cells or the game will take forever. This is a version of Conway's Life experiment from the Spring 86 DECUS Lang&Tools Sessions Notes modifed by Michael Good. The rules of the game are: SURVIVALS A cell will survives to the next generation if it has 2 or 3 live neighbors. DEATHS A cell will die (not survive to the next generation) if it has more that 3 neighbors. It will die from overpopulation. If it has less than 2 neighbors it will die from isolation. BIRTHS An empty cell with exactly 3 neighbors is a birth cell and a mark will appear in the next generation. Birth and deaths take place simultaneously between the display of each generation. 1 LIST List the all of the current buffers. The user selects which buffer to edit. The default is to return to the original buffer. 1 MENU Display a menu that allows the user to execute special functions. The functions are: . Remove all TABs and spaces at the end of all lines. . Convert all TAB characters to eight spaces. . Replace control characters (0 - 31) with descriptive ASCII strings. . Replace descriptive ASCII strings with control characters (0 - 31). All functions effect only the current buffer. 1 RULER Display a ruler on the status line with the tab stops marked. The current line is move to be bottom of the window if possible. The next ruler command or status line update delete the ruler display. 1 SORT Sort the lines in a named buffer into assending order. The buffer name may be entered as part of the command, otherwise the the user will be promped for it. For example: SORT or SORT X.X 1 TIME Insert the current system time at the current cursor location. 1 TRIM The TRIM command removes spaces and tabs at the end of each line in the current buffer. 1 CRTL_D Delete the current line. 1 CRTL_L Display information about the location of the current line in relation to the complete file. 1 CRTL_P Display the current position of the cursor on the line. 1 PF1_1 Return spilt screen to a single window that displays the current buffer. To execute press the PF1 key followed by the 1 key. 1 PF1_2 Split the screen into two sections which are separate windows into the same file or two different files. To execute press the PF1 key followed by the 2 key. 1 PF1_L Convert the current word to lowercase. To execute press the PF1 key followed by the L key. 1 PF1_T Transpose the two characters to the left of the cursor. To execute press the PF1 key followed by the T key. 1 PF1_W Toggle the display between 80 and 132 characters wide. To execute Press the PF1 key followed by the W key. 1 PF1_U Convert the current word to uppercase. To execute press the PF1 key followed by the U key. 1 PF1_X Display a menu that allows the user to execute special functions. See MENU for more information. To execute press the PF1 key followed by the X key. 1 F9 Move the next word. 1 F10 Move the cursor from one window to the other. To execute press the F10 key. 1 F11 Move to the beginning of the current line. 1 F12 Move to the end of the current line. 1 VT200_Keys Some of the VT200 terminal control key definitions for EVE. ^B Recall Most Recent Command ^E End of Line ^H Start of Line ^U Erase to Start of Line ^V Insert Special character Into the Buffer ^Z Exit F11 Forward F13 Erase Word F14 Insert Mode 1 VT100_Keys Some of the VT100 terminal control key definitions for EVE. ^B Recall Most Recent Command ^E End of Line ^H Start of Line ^U Erase to Start of Line ^V Insert Special character Into the Buffer ^Z Exit PF3 Forward (keypad) , Erase Word (keypad) ENTER Insert Mode (keypad) 1 Standard_EVE These are some of the standard commands defined within EVE. They are executed after entering command mode with the DO command. some of the commands have also been bound to control keys. 2 attach Suspend the current EVE session that was created using the DCL command SPAWN, and reconnect the terminal to the parent process. Use the command ATTACH only after creating a subprocess with the DCL command SPAWN. SPAWN assigns a name to all created subprocesses. Use the DCL command SHOW PROCESS/SUBPROCESS to determine the names of your subprocesses. For example. $SPAWN EDIT/TPU TEXT.TXT (create a subprocess to edit a file) . Command: ATTACH (returns control to the parent process) . $ ATTACH SMITH_1 (return to edit subprocess) 2 botttom Move the cursor to the end of the current buffer. 2 buffer Places the specified buffer in the current window and moves the cursor to the specified buffer. The cursor returns to the last remembered position. If the buffer does not exist, EVE creates a new buffer and places the cursor at the top of that buffer. BUFFER buffer-name 2 capitalize word Make the first character of the current word uppercase (and the rest of the word lowercase), and moves the cursor to the first letter of the next word. If the cursor is between words, the first letter of the next word is capitalized. 2 center line Center the current line between the left and right margins. 2 dcl 2 define key 2 extend TPU 2 Fill Reformats the text in the current paragraph so that the maximum number of words fits between the left and right margins, and moves the cursor to the end of the paragraph. blank lines and DIGITAL Standard Runoff (DSR) commands are treated as paragraph boundaries. 2 get file Create a new buffer that contains the text of the specified file (on an empty buffer if you specify a file that does not exist), places the new buffer in the current window, and places the cursor at the beginning of the new buffer. If you specify the same file and and file type with a different device or directory name during an editing session, EVE prompts for a buffer name into which to read the file. Wildcard characters may be used in the file specification. If there are multiple matches, EVE displays all of the choices and prompts you for the one you wish to select. GET FILE file-spec 2 go to Moves the cursor to the location previously labeled with the MARK command. If the mark is in a buffer not mapped to the current window, the buffer that contains the marked text is mapped to the current window. GO TO mark-name 2 include file 2 learn 2 line Move the cursor to the beginning of the specified line. LINE n 2 lowercase word Change the entire current word to lowercase letters, and move the cursor to the beginning of the next word. If the cursor is between words, the next word is changed. 2 mark Label a location in your file to which the command GO TO can return the cursor. MARK mark-name 2 move by word 2 one window Returns a split screen to a single window that displays the current buffer. 2 other window Moves the cursor from one window to the other so you can perform editing functions in the desired window. 2 quit terminate EVE without saving your edits. If you modify a file and exit using QUIT, EVE prompts you for confirmation. 2 quote Insert the a special character into the buffer. You may insert form feeds or nonprinting characters such as control characters. QUOTE also allows you to insert printing characters, such as letters and punctuation marks, that are bound or programmed to other keys. To search for a special character use CTRL/V when using the command FIND. 2 recall Place the most recent command (issued using DO or RECALL) on the command line. Press RETURN to execute the recalled command. 2 repeat Reiterates the next character or command a specified number of times. REPEAT n 2 replace removes an old string of text and replaces it with a new string of text. EVE highlights each occurence of the old string and prompts you for the action to be taken. At the end of the REPLACE session,EVE displays the total number of replacements made. REPLACE "old string" "new string" 2 restore Restores the last text erased with an EVE command or editing key. The text is inserted at the cursor position. 2 save extended eve 2 set left margin Aligns the left margin of subsequently entered text with the specified column. The default left margin is 1. SET LEFT MARGIN n 2 set right margin Aligns the right margin of subsequently entered text with the specified column. The cursor moves to the start of the next line if it is less than eight spaces away from the the right margin. To prevent text from wrapping, set the right margin to at least eight more the the longest line in the file. By default, the right margin is one character less than the width of the screen. SET RIGHT MARGIN n 2 set tabs at set tab stops at the columns specified as a sequence of integers separated by spaces. Default tab stops are set at every eight characters. this command does not affect the hardware tab settings on your terminal. If you use terminals or printers that have tab settings different from those you specified, the file does not appear the as it does during an EVE editing session. SET TAB AT n [n...] 2 set tabs every 2 set width SET WIDTH n 2 shift left SHIFT LEFT n 2 shift right SHIFT RIGHT n 2 show Display information about the current buffer, such as input and output file names, margin and tab settings, number of lines current direction and mode, and the name of marks associated with the buffer. If you have more than one buffer in your edit session, SHOW asks you whether you wish see additional information. Press the DO key to see this information. 2 spawn Suspend the current EVE session and connect the terminal to a new VAX/VMS subprocess at the DCL level. To resume the EVE session, log out of the VAX/VMS subprocess. The command SPAWN is useful for running VAX/VMS utilities or executing DCL command with out ending the current EVE session. 2 top Move the cursor to the beginning of the current buffer. 2 two windows split the screen into two sections, making it possible to view different parts of one file or two different files. When one file is displayed in both windows, edits made in one window are simultaneous made in the the other window. 2 uppercase Change the entire current word to uppercase letters, and move the cursor to the beginning of the next word. If the cursor is between words, the next word is changed. 2 write file Write the contents of the current buffer to a specified file. If you do not provide a file specification, EVE write the file to your current default directory and uses the buffer name as the file name. If there is no output file associated with a buffer (for example, if this is the first write file in a buffer created with the command BUFFER), EVE prompts you for a file specification.
