EVE FILL — VMS 5.0

 FILL

 Fills (reformats) the current paragraph or highlighted text, according to
 the margins of the buffer, so that the maximum number of words fits on a
 line.

 Steps:

    1.  Optionally, use FIND, SELECT, or WILDCARD FIND to highlight the
        text you want to fill.  Or put the cursor anywhere in the paragraph
        you want to fill.

    2.  Use FILL or with the EDT keypad, press GOLD/KP8; with the WPS
        keypad, press GOLD/KP5.

 The highlighting is terminated; the cursor stays at the end of the range.
 If you fill a paragraph, the cursor moves to the end of the paragraph.
 "Paragraphs" are bounded by any of the following:

    o  Blank lines
    o  Top or bottom of the buffer
    o  Page breaks
    o  RUNOFF commands (such as .B)

 FILL commands erase tabs and spaces at the start and end of a range or
 paragraph but do not affect tabs and spaces in the middle.
