EVE SET_FIND_NOWHITESPACE — VMS 5.0

 SET FIND NOWHITESPACE

 Sets the FIND command to match spaces and tabs exactly as in the search
 string, rather than as "white space," and to find strings that are
 entirely on one line.  This is the default setting.

 Example:

    Command                   Purpose or effects
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    1.  SET FIND NOWHITESPA   Sets FIND to match spaces and tabs exactly as
                              in the search string and without spanning
                              line breaks.

    2.  FIND Mark Twain       Finds "Mark Twain" if the white space is the
                              same as in the search string -- in this case,
                              exactly one space between the words -- and if
                              the string is entirely on one line.

 To have searches treat all white space the same and to span a line break,
 use SET FIND WHITESPACE.  You may want to put the command in an
 initialization file.
