DCL
Enters a DCL command from within your editing session and puts the output
from the command in the DCL buffer in a second window.
Example:
DCL directory/column=4 *.txt
Spawns a subprocess for the DCL DIRECTORY command. EVE uses a second
window to show the DCL buffer, like this:
+-------------+
|[] current | One window shows the buffer you are editing.
| buffer |
|-------------| The other window shows the DCL buffer. When the DCL
| DCL buffer | command is completed, the cursor returns to your last
| | last position in the buffer you are editing in the
+-------------+ other window. The DCL window stays on the screen.
o To delete the DCL window, typically you use ONE WINDOW. This restores
a single, large window, containing the current buffer.
o To put the cursor in the DCL window, use NEXT WINDOW. You can then
edit the DCL buffer like any text buffer. For example, you can remove
or copy the directory list and insert it in another buffer.
o To run another interactive utility, such as MAIL, without ending the
editing session, use SPAWN to create a subprocess.
