EVE RETURN — VMS 5.2

 RETURN

 Inserts a carriage return at the current editing position -- either to
 start a new line of text or to terminate a command you are typing.

 Steps:

    1.  Put the cursor where you want to start a new line.

    2.  Press the RETURN key.

 o  In editing text, the cursor and any existing text to the right move
    down.  The new line starts at the current left margin of the buffer.

 o  In terminating a command, you can have the cursor anywhere on the
    command line.  Generally, if a command prompts for required
    information, simply pressing RETURN at the prompt cancels the
    operation.  See help on Canceling.

 Keys:  The following keys are each defined as RETURN:
