DELETE BUFFER
Deletes a buffer you specify. The buffer name must match exactly -- no
abbreviations or wildcards.
Example:
DELETE BUFFER rough.txt
Deletes a buffer named ROUGH.TXT -- if it is empty or unmodified.
Otherwise, EVE asks for one of the following choices:
DELETE_ONLY Deletes the specified buffer.
WRITE_FIRST Does a WRITE FILE for that buffer, then deletes it.
QUIT Cancels -- buffer is NOT deleted (default choice).
o If you delete the current buffer, EVE displays the first buffer viewed
in the session. If there is no previous buffer, EVE displays an empty
buffer named MAIN.
o If you use multiple windows, deleting a buffer does NOT delete the
window the buffer was in. See help on DELETE WINDOW.
o When you view a list of buffers, REMOVE is specially redefined as
DELETE BUFFER, as follows:
1. Use SHOW BUFFERS to list the buffers you have created.
2. Put the cursor on a buffer name in the list and press REMOVE.
o Do NOT delete system buffers. Some cannot be deleted.
