EVE MOVE_LEFT — VMS 5.1-B

 MOVE LEFT

 Moves the cursor left one character at a time.

 o  If the cursor is free, you can move it anywhere in the buffer, whether
    characters are already there or not.

 o  If the cursor is bound, then from the start of a line, it moves to the
    end of the previous line, if there is one.  See help on the SET CURSOR
    BOUND command.

 o  If you are at the left edge of a window, MOVE LEFT does NOT shift the
    window to the left.  (See help on the SHIFT LEFT command.)
