@ (at sign)
Executes an initialization file you specify, containing EVE commands.
This lets you you set or change editing values (such as margins and tabs),
redefine several keys, or execute a series of related commands (such as
resetting the left and right margins at the same time). The default file
type is .EVE.
Example:
@ sys$login:myeve
Executes an initialization file called MYEVE.EVE in your top-level (or
login) directory -- effectively the same as typing each command in that
file.
o You can use logical names in the file specification (such as EVE$INIT),
but NOT wildcards. You can use more than one initialization file in a
session, but can execute only one at a time and you cannot use @ to
nest initialization files.
o When you use @, commands in the initialization file for buffer
settings, such as margins and tabs, typically apply to the current
buffer. For information on setting defaults for creating new buffers,
see help on DEFAULTS.
o If an initialization file fails, follow the steps in this example:
Command Purpose or Effects

errors, such as misspelled commands.
