EVE @ — VMS 5.1-B

 @ (at sign)

 Executes an initialization file you specify, containing EVE commands.

 Using an initialization file lets you you set editing preferences, define
 keys, or execute a series of related commands, without having to type each
 command.  The default file type for initialization files is .EVE.

 Example:

    The following command executes an initialization file called MYINI.EVE
    in your top-level (or login) directory:

       @ SYS$LOGIN:MYINI

 o  You can use logical names in the file specification (such as EVE$INIT),
    but not wildcards.  You can use more than one initialization file in a
    session, but execute only one at a time.  You cannot use @ to nest
    initialization files.

 o  When you use @, commands in the initialization file for buffer
    settings, such as margins and tab stops, typically apply to the current
    buffer.  For information on setting defaults for creating new buffers,
    see help on Defaults.
