EVE INCLUDE_FILE — VMS 5.2

 INCLUDE FILE

 Includes a file into the current buffer, inserting it before the start of
 the current line.  This is useful to combine files.

 Example:

    The following command includes a file called MEMO.TXT from your current
    (default) directory:

       INCLUDE FILE memo.txt

 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 for you to choose from.  (See help on Choices Buffer.) You can
    include several files in a buffer, but only one per command.

 o  Including a file does not change the buffer name, the output file
    specification associated with the buffer (if any), or any buffer
    settings, such as margins and tabs.

 o  The cursor remains on the current character.  The text of the included
    file is inserted whether the mode of the buffer is insert or overstrike.

 Key:  The WPS keypad defines GOLD-G as INCLUDE FILE.
