EVE MARK — VMS 5.1-B

 MARK

 Puts an invisible mark at the current position.  Later, using the GO TO
 command, you can return to the marked location.  This makes it easier to
 move through a large file or buffer or between buffers.

 Example:

    The following commands mark the current position as CHAP ONE (canceling
    a previous marker with that name, if any), and later return to that
    position:

       MARK chap one
       GO TO chap one

 o  Marker names can be one or more characters, including spaces and tabs.
    The names are not case-sensitive (you can use uppercase, lowercase, or
    mixed case).

 o  To check names of markers in the buffer, use the SHOW command.

 o  Markers are not saved when you end the editing session.
