EVE TWO_WINDOWS — VMS 5.0

 TWO WINDOWS

 Splits the current window into two 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) TWO WINDOWS       (3) Repeat TWO WINDOWS
    have a single,         forms two windows     to split the new window
    large window.          of equal size.        into two smaller windows.

 o  To split a window into three or more equal size windows, use SPLIT
    WINDOW and specify the number of windows you want.  Without a number,
    SPLIT WINDOW 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.
