OPEN
Opens a file you specify, putting it into the current EVE window. This
lets you edit or create another file in the same session. (Same as the
GET FILE command.)
Example:
The following command opens a file called MEMO.TXT in your current
(default) directory:
OPEN memo.txt
o Opening a file for the first time creates a buffer named after that
file. If there is already a buffer by that name, EVE asks for a
different name to use. The new buffer has same settings as the
$DEFAULTS$ buffer. (See help on Defaults.)
o If you specify a file you have already opened in the editing session,
EVE returns to your last location in the buffer for that file, if the
buffer still exists.
o You can use logical names and wildcards in the file specification. If
more than one file matches your request, EVE shows a list of matching
files to choose from. (See help on Choices Buffer.) You can open
several files in an editing session, but only one per command.
o If you make a mistake in specifying the file, use the DELETE BUFFER
command to discard the buffer.
