EVE SHOW_BUFFERS — VMS 5.0

 SHOW BUFFERS

 Lists the buffers you have created and puts the cursor in the list.  Also,
 SELECT and REMOVE are specially redefined so you can choose a buffer to
 view or delete without having to type its name.

 Steps:

    1.  Use SHOW BUFFERS to list the buffers you have created.

    2.  Put the cursor on the name of a buffer in the list.

    3.  Press SELECT to view that buffer in the current window
                  -- OR --
        press REMOVE to delete that buffer.

 This is effectively the same as using the BUFFER or DELETE BUFFER commands
 respectively, except you do not type the buffer name.  These definitions
 of SELECT and REMOVE apply when you use SHOW BUFFERS or SHOW SYSTEM
 BUFFERS.
