EVE EXIT — VMS 5.0

 EXIT

 Ends the editing session and, typically, produces a new file or a new
 version of an existing file.

 o  On exiting, EVE writes out the current buffer, unless you have made no
    edits or none since you previously wrote out the buffer during the
    session.

 o  If there is no file specification for the buffer -- that is, if you
    invoked EVE or created the buffer without specifying an input file --
    EVE asks for a file specification.  Simply pressing RETURN at the
    prompt discards the buffer.

 o  If you have modified other buffers, such as in editing more than one
    file in the session, EVE asks if you want to write out those buffers.
    Respond Yes or No.  If necessary, EVE asks for file specifications.

 o  If you have NOT modified any buffers, EXIT is the same as QUIT.  No new
    files or new versions are produced.

 Keys:  EVE defines CTRL/Z and F10 as EXIT.  The VT100 keypad defines
        CTRL/Z.  The WPS keypad defines GOLD/F.
