EVE REMOVE — VMS 5.2

 REMOVE

 Removes the current select range or found range, which you can insert
 elsewhere (same as CUT).  In a buffer list, deletes the buffer whose name
 the cursor is on (similar to DELETE BUFFER).

 Steps:

    1.  Select or find the text you want to copy.
    2.  Use the REMOVE command.  (See key list below.)
    3.  To insert the removed text elsewhere, use INSERT HERE or PASTE.

 o  Depending on your setting, the text is stored in EVE's Insert Here
    buffer or in the DECwindows clipboard, replacing what you previously
    removed or copied.  The default setting is NOCLIPBOARD, which uses the
    Insert Here buffer.  See help on the SET CLIPBOARD command.

 o  When you are in the Buffer List buffer, REMOVE deletes a buffer without
    your having to type the buffer name, as follows:

       1.  Use SHOW BUFFERS to list the buffers you have created.
       2.  Put the cursor on the name of the buffer you want to delete.
       3.  Use REMOVE.

 Keys:  The following keys are each defined as REMOVE:
