BUFFER
Puts a specified buffer into the current EVE window, creating a new buffer
if the one you specify does not already exist.
You can use the BUFFER command to edit another file, view the messages you
have received, or create a temporary storage area or "scratchpad."
Examples:
Command Purpose or Effect
---------------------------------------------------------------------
BUFFER memo.txt Puts a buffer called MEMO.TXT in the current EVE
window. If the buffer already exists, the cursor
returns to your last position in that buffer.
BUFFER MESSAGES Puts the Messages buffer in the current window.
See help on Message Buffer.
o If you create a new buffer, the cursor moves to the top of that buffer.
The new buffer has the same settings as the $DEFAULTS$ buffer. See
help on Defaults.
o In returning to an existing buffer, you can abbreviate the buffer name.
If more than one name matches your request, EVE shows a list of the
matching buffers for you to choose from. (See help on Choices Buffer.)
o Typically, a buffer has the same name as the file it contains, as
specified when you used the OPEN, OPEN SELECTED, or GET FILE command.
To check buffer names, use the SHOW BUFFERS or SHOW SYSTEM BUFFERS
command.
