WRITE FILE
Writes the current buffer to a file, saving its contents, without ending
your editing session.
Examples:
Command Purpose or effects
---------------------------------------------------------------------
WRITE FILE memo.txt Writes the current buffer to a file called
MEMO.TXT in your current (default) directory.
WRITE FILE Writes the current buffer using the file
specification associated with the buffer, if
there is one.
o If there is no file specification for the buffer -- that is, if you did
not specify a file when you invoked EVE or when you created the buffer
-- EVE asks for an output file specification. Simply pressing RETURN
at the prompt cancels the operation.
o Specifying a file on the command line does not change the buffer name,
but may change the output file specification of the buffer for later
WRITE FILE commands or for exiting. To find out the file specification
of the buffer, use SHOW.
Key: The WPS keypad defines GOLD/W as WRITE FILE.
