BUFFER

 Puts a buffer into the current window -- for example, to edit another
 file, view the messages you have received, or create a temporary storage
 area or "scratchpad."

 Example:

    BUFFER jabber.txt

 Puts a buffer called JABBER.TXT in the main (or current) window.

 o  If the buffer already exists, the cursor returns to your last position
    in that buffer.  The settings of that buffer apply to your edits
    (direction, margins, mode, tab stops, and wrap).

 o  If you are creating a buffer, the cursor moves to the top of the new
    buffer.  The new buffer has the same settings as the $DEFAULTS$ buffer.
    See help on DEFAULTS.

 o  You can abbreviate the buffer name.  If more than one name matches your
    request, EVE shows a list of the matching names and recalls the BUFFER
    command so you can choose the one you want.  Typically, a buffer has
    the same name as the file it contains.  To check buffer names, use SHOW
    BUFFERS or SHOW SYSTEM BUFFERS.

 o  You can also use the BUFFER command to view a system buffer, such as
    the messages buffer, help buffer, or DCL buffer.  See help on MESSAGE
    BUFFER.
