EVE SAVE_FILE — VMS 5.1-B

 SAVE FILE

 Saves your edits, writing out the current buffer to a file, without ending
 the editing session.  (Same as WRITE FILE.)

 Example:

    The following commands open a file called MEMO.TXT and then save your
    edits in a new version of the file or version 1 if you are creating a
    new file:

       OPEN memo.txt
       SAVE FILE

 o  If there is no file specification for the buffer -- that is, if you did
    not specify a file when you invoked EVE or when you created the buffer
    -- EVE asks for an output file specification.

 o  Specifying an output file does not change the buffer name, but does
    associate that file specification with the buffer for later SAVE FILE
    or WRITE FILE commands or for exiting (except with system buffers).  To
    check the output file specification of the buffer, use the SHOW
    command.
