EVE LEARN — VMS 5.0

 LEARN

 Learns a sequence of keystrokes and remembers them as a single key.  The
 sequence can comprise commands, text, or both.

 Steps:

    1.  Use LEARN.  EVE prompts you to type the keystrokes you want
        learned.  You can type text, commands, or both -- including
        pressing any keys already defined.

    2.  To end the learn sequence, press REMEMBER (the CTRL/R key).

    3.  At the prompt, press the key to be defined.  You can press:

        A function key ......... such as PF4, KP7, or F20
        GOLD and another key ... such as GOLD/KP7 or GOLD/A
        A control key .......... such as CTRL/N or GOLD/CTRL/A
        A mouse button ......... see help on MOUSE
        RETURN ................. to cancel the definition

 o  Your key definitions override those done by SET KEYPAD commands.  For
    example, if the key you use for the learn sequence is one that the EDT
    or WPS keypad ordinarily defines, your definitions override the EDT or
    WPS definitions.

 o  Key definitions remain in effect throughout your editing session or
    until you redefine the key.  To save key definitions for future
    sessions, use SAVE EXTENDED EVE to create a section file.  You cannot
    put learn sequences in an initialization file.

 o  Learn sequences record or remember keystrokes, rather than the key
    definitions at the time the sequence was created.  Therefore, before
    you "replay" a learn sequence, check that any keys used in the learn
    sequence are defined appropriately.  Otherwise, the learn sequence may
    fail or not work as expected.  To get a list of key definitions, use
    HELP KEYS or press GOLD/HELP (on the mini keypad).

 Keys:  The EDT and WPS keypads define CTRL/K as LEARN.  The WPS keypad
        also defines GOLD/>.
