EVE SHIFT_LEFT — VMS 5.0

 SHIFT LEFT

 Shifts the current window to the left by the number of columns you
 specify.

 Using SHIFT LEFT and SHIFT RIGHT commands lets you view the undisplayed
 portion of very wide text, such as lines 100 characters long, without
 having to change the width of the window or use 132-column mode.

 Example:

    Command                   Purpose or effects
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    1.  SHIFT RIGHT 30        Shifts the window 30 columns to the right.

    2.  SHIFT LEFT 30         Shifts the window 30 columns to the left,
                              returning to the previous location.

 You cannot shift the window left beyond column 1.  To find out the current
 width and any shift, use SHOW.
