EVE FILL_RANGE — VMS 5.2

 FILL RANGE

 Fills (reformats) the current select range or found range, so that the
 maximum number of words fits on a line according to the margins of the
 buffer.

 Typically, you use FILL commands to rewrap text after erasing or removing
 text or to reformat text after setting new margins or paragraph indent.

 Steps:

    1.  Select or find the text you want to fill.

    2.  Use the FILL RANGE command.

 o  FILL commands erase tabs and spaces at the start and end of a range,
    but do not affect tabs and spaces in the middle of a range.

 o  FILL RANGE keeps blank lines and page breaks as paragraph boundaries,
    which is useful if you select several paragraphs or the entire buffer
    for reformatting.
