EVE REMOVE — VMS 5.0

 REMOVE

 Removes ("cuts") the currently highlighted text, which you can insert
 elsewhere.  In a buffer list, deletes a buffer whose name the cursor is on.

 Steps:

    1.  Use FIND, SELECT, or WILDCARD FIND to highlight the text.

    2.  Press REMOVE.  The removed text replaces in the INSERT HERE buffer
        whatever you previously removed or stored.

    3.  To insert the removed text elsewhere, use INSERT HERE.

 When you are in a buffer list, REMOVE is specially redefined as DELETE
 BUFFER, as follows:

    1.  Use SHOW BUFFERS to list the buffers you have created.
    2.  Put the cursor on a buffer name in the list and press REMOVE.

 Keys:  EVE defines the REMOVE key (E3) on the mini keypad.  The VT100
        keypad defines KP8.  The EDT keypad defines KP6.  The WPS keypad
        defines both MINUS (on the keypad) and REMOVE as WPS Paste and lets
        you use alternate paste buffers.
