EVE FORWARD — VMS 5.2

 FORWARD

 Sets the direction of the current buffer to forward -- toward the right
 and down.  (Default setting.)

 o  The direction of the buffer affects searches and some cursor-movement
    commands, such as MOVE BY LINE and similar EDT and WPS keys.

 o  For FIND and WILDCARD FIND commands, if you let EVE prompt you for the
    search string, you can press a key defined as FORWARD to terminate the
    command so the search begins in that direction.  The search direction
    does not affect the direction for cursor-movement functions.

 Key:  The EDT keypad defines the KP4 key as FORWARD.
