EVE LEARN — VMS 5.2

 LEARN

 Learns a sequence of keystrokes and remembers them as a single key.  The
 sequence can comprise commands, text, or both.  (In some text editors this
 is called a "macro.")

 Steps:

    1.  Use the LEARN command.  (See key list below.)

    2.  Type the keystrokes you want learned.  You can type text, commands,
        or both -- including pressing keys already defined.  However, mouse
        operations are NOT learned.

    3.  To end or "remember" the learn sequence, press CTRL/R.

    4.  At the prompt, press the key you want to use for the learn
        sequence.  You can press:

           A function key ....... such as F20, PF4, or Keypad 9
           A GOLD combination ... such as GOLD-A or GOLD-ENTER
           A control key ........ such as CTRL/N
           RETURN ............... to cancel the definition

 o  Your key definitions override those done by SET KEYPAD commands.  For
    example, if the key you use for the learn sequence is ordinarily
    defined by the EDT or WPS keypad, your definition overrides the EDT or
    WPS definition.

 o  Key definitions remain in effect throughout your editing session or
    until you redefine the key.  To save key definitions for future
    sessions, use the SAVE EXTENDED EVE command to create a section file.
    You cannot put learn sequences in an initialization file.

 o  Learn sequences record keystrokes, rather than the key definitions at
    the time the sequence was created.  Therefore, before you "replay" a
    learn sequence, check that any keys used in the learn sequence are
    defined appropriately and also that any settings that affect the
    sequence are correct (such as bound or free cursor, margins, and tab
    stops, pending delete, and so on).  Otherwise, the learn sequence may
    fail or may not work as expected.

 Keys:  The following keys are each defined as LEARN:

        EDT Keypad    WPS Keypad
        --------------------------------------------
        CTRL/K        CTRL/K or GOLD-> (right angle)
