EVE INCLUDE_FILE — VMS 5.0

 INCLUDE FILE

 Includes (copies) a file into the current buffer, inserting it before the
 start of the current line.  This is useful to combine files.

 Example:

    INCLUDE FILE jabber.txt

 Includes a file called JABBER.TXT from your current (default) directory.
 The cursor remains on the current character.

 o  You can use logical names and wildcards in the file specification.  If
    more than one file matches your request, EVE shows a list of matching
    files and recalls the INCLUDE FILE command so you can choose the one
    you want.  You can include several files in a buffer, but only one at a
    time.

 o  Including a file does NOT change the buffer name, the output file
    specification associated with the buffer (if any), or any buffer
    settings, such as margins and tab stops.

 o  The text of the included file is always inserted whether the mode of
    the buffer is insert or overstrike.  (See help on INSERT MODE.)

 Key:  The WPS keypad defines GOLD/G as INCLUDE FILE.
