EVE CENTER_LINE — VMS 5.1-B

 CENTER LINE

 Centers a line of text between the current margins of the buffer.

 Steps:

    1.  Put the cursor anywhere on the line you want to center.
    2.  Use the CENTER LINE command or with the WPS keypad, press GOLD-C.

 o  The cursor moves with the line, remaining on the same character as the
    text moves.  If you are on a blank line, CENTER LINE moves the cursor
    to the center column between the left and right margins.

 o  CENTER LINE erases spaces and tabs at the start and end of a line, but
    does not affect them in the middle of a line.  It inserts spaces at the
    start of a line; you can erase the spaces to adjust the centering.
