EVE SPLIT_WINDOW — VMS 5.0

 SPLIT WINDOW

 Splits the current window into two or more windows.  This lets you view
 different buffers at the same time or different parts of the same buffer.

 The cursor appears in the new, lower window.  Each window has its own
 status line and contains the buffer you are currently editing.  For
 example:

    (1) Initially, you     (2) SPLIT WINDOW      (3) Repeat SPLIT WINDOW
    have a single,         forms two windows     to split the new window
    large window.          of equal size.        into two smaller windows.

 o  You can also specify the number of windows you want create.  For
    example, to form three equal size windows, use:

       SPLIT WINDOW 3

 o  If you do NOT specify a number, the command is the same as TWO WINDOWS.
    The maximum number of windows depends on the size and type of terminal
    you are using.

 o  To put a different file or buffer in a window, use GET FILE or BUFFER.
    For more information on using multiple windows, see help on WINDOWS.
