EVE MOVE_BY_WORD — VMS 5.1-B

 MOVE BY WORD

 Moves the cursor a word at a time in the current direction (shown in the
 status line).

 Steps:

    1.  If necessary, set the direction you want to move in.  For example,
        with the EDT keypad, press KP4 for FORWARD, or KP5 for REVERSE.

    2.  Use the MOVE BY WORD command.  (See key list below).

 o  In forward direction, the cursor moves to the start of the next word.
    In reverse direction, it moves to the nearest start of word -- that is,
    the start of the current word or the start of the previous word.

 o  In EVE, a "word" includes the trailing whitespace (spaces, tabs) until
    the next word separator (typically, a printing character).

 Keys:  The following keys are each defined as MOVE BY WORD:

        EDT Keypad     WPS Keypad
        ------------------------------
        KP1            KP4 or GOLD-KP4
