EVE DCL — VMS 5.2

 DCL

 Executes a DCL command from within your editing session, and puts the
 output from the command in the DCL buffer in a second EVE window.

 Example:

    The following command creates a DCL subprocess for the DIRECTORY
    command, to list the files with the type *.TXT:

       DCL DIRECTORY/COLUMN=4 *.txt

 o  EVE puts the output from the command (such as the directory listing)
    into the DCL buffer in a EVE second window, like this:

    +-------------+
    |[] current   |   One window shows the buffer you are editing.
    |   buffer    |
    |-------------|   The other window shows the DCL buffer.  When the DCL
    | DCL buffer  |   command is completed, the cursor returns to your last
    |             |   last position in the buffer you are editing in the
    +-------------+   other window.  The DCL window stays on the screen.

 o  To delete the DCL window, typically you use the ONE WINDOW command.
    This restores a single, large window, containing the current buffer.

 o  To put the cursor in the DCL window, use the NEXT WINDOW command.  You
    can then edit the DCL buffer like any text buffer.  For example, you
    can remove or copy a directory list and insert it in another buffer.

 o  To run another interactive utility, such as Mail, without ending the
    editing session, use the SPAWN command.
