CV (CREATE_VIEW) *DM* -- Create a read-only edit pad and window.
usage: [region]cv pathname


FORMAT

  [region] CV pathname


  The CV command creates a read-only edit pad to view an existing
  file.  You may not make changes to the file, only view it.  If you
  decide that you want to make changes to it after all, you must first
  disable read-only mode.  Type HELP RO for details about that operation.

  By default, the <READ> key (R3) invokes the CV command, automatically
  moving the cursor to the DM input pad and issuing the "Read file: "
  prompt.  Type the pathname of the file to be read.

  To close a pad and window, use the DM command WC (usually CTRL/N).
