GET FILE
Gets a file you specify, puts it into a buffer (if necessary, creating a
new buffer), and puts the buffer into the main (or current) window. This
lets you edit another file in the same session.
Example:
GET FILE jabber.txt
Gets the file called JABBER.TXT from your current (default) directory.
The buffer for that file appears in the main (or current) window.
o Getting a file for the first time creates a buffer named after that
file. If there is already a buffer by that name, EVE asks for a
different name to use. The new buffer has the same settings as the
$DEFAULTS$ buffer (direction, margins, mode, tab stops, direction, and
wrap). See help on DEFAULTS.
o If you get a file you have already been editing, EVE puts the cursor at
your last location in the buffer for that file -- effectively the same
as using the BUFFER command. The settings of that buffer apply to your
edits.
o You can use logical names wildcards in the file specification. If more
than one file matches your request, EVE shows a list of matching files
and recalls the GET FILE command so you can choose the one you want.
You can edit several files in an editing session, but can get only one
file at a time.
