SHOW DEFAULTS BUFFER
Shows information about the $DEFAULTS$ buffer -- margins, tab stops,
direction, mode, maximum lines, and so on. These are the default settings
used when you create buffers with GET FILE or BUFFER commands.
To change the defaults, follow the steps in this example:
Command Purpose or Effects
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. SHOW DEFAULTS BUFFER Shows the settings of the $DEFAULTS$ buffer.
2. BUFFER $DEFAULTS$ Puts the $DEFAULTS$ buffer in the current
window. (The buffer is empty; it serves only
as the source for settings of other buffers.)
3. SET RIGHT MARGIN 70 Sets the default right margin. New buffers
you create will have a right margin of 70.
Similarly, you can change the default left margin, direction, mode, tab
stops, and wrap. This does NOT affect other, existing buffers. For more
information, see help on DEFAULTS.
Note: SET WIDTH makes the right margin of $DEFAULTS$ one column less than
the width. For example, a width of 132 makes the default right
margin 131; a width of 80 makes the default right margin 79. SET
WIDTH does not affect the margins of other, existing buffers.
