EVE FORWARD — VMS 5.0

 FORWARD

 Sets the direction of the current buffer to forward -- toward the right
 and down.

 o  The direction of the buffer is shown in the status line.  It affects
    commands such as FIND and MOVE BY LINE and some EDT and WPS keypad
    functions.

 o  You can press a direction-setting key to terminate FIND or WILDCARD
    FIND commands so the search begins in that direction.  (See help on
    FIND.) This does not affect the direction for other commands, such as
    MOVE BY LINE.

 Keys:  The EDT keypad defines KP4 as FORWARD and KP5 as REVERSE.
