EVE NEW — VMS 5.1-B

 NEW

 Creates a new buffer, putting it into the current EVE window.

 Steps:

    1.  Use the NEW command.

    2.  The new buffer is named MAIN.  If a buffer named MAIN already
        exists, EVE prompts you for the name of the new buffer to create.

 o  The cursor moves to the top of the new buffer.

 o  The new buffer has the same settings as the $DEFAULTS$ buffer.  See
    help on Defaults.

 o  To save the edits you make in this buffer, use the SAVE FILE AS or
    WRITE FILE command.  Or, on exiting, EVE will ask you if you want to
    save your edits.

 o  To create or edit another file, use the OPEN, OPEN SELECTED, or GET
    FILE command.  Each of these commands creates a buffer for the
    specified file.
