EVE CHANGE_DIRECTION — VMS 5.0

 CHANGE DIRECTION

 Changes ("toggles") the direction for searches and other operations in the
 current buffer -- either forward or reverse, as shown in the status line.

 o  The direction of the buffer affects commands such as FIND and MOVE BY
    LINE and some EDT and WPS keypad functions.

 o  You can press F11 or other direction-setting key to terminate FIND or
    WILDCARD FIND commands so the search begins in the direction opposite
    that of the current buffer or in the direction specified by that key.
    (See help on FIND.) This does not affect the direction for other
    commands, such as MOVE BY LINE.

 Keys:  EVE defines F11 as CHANGE DIRECTION.  The VT100 keypad defines PF3.
