 DO

 Enters or terminates an EVE command.

 Steps:

    1.  Press DO.         The cursor moves to the command window, and EVE
                          prompts you for a command.

    2.  Type a command,   You can edit the command much like editing a
        such as FILL.     command line at the DCL level.

    3.  Press either      EVE executes the command or prompts you for
        RETURN or DO.     further action.  The cursor can be anywhere on
                          the command line.

 o  Pressing DO twice repeats the last command you typed.  If you press DO
    and then press RETURN -- without typing a command -- no command is
    executed and you resume editing.  See help on CANCELING.

 o  You must have a key defined as DO, and can have more than one.

 Keys:  EVE defines the DO key.  The VT100 keypad defines PF4.
        The EDT keypad defines GOLD/KP7.  The WPS keypad defines GOLD/[.
