EVE SET_CLIPBOARD — VMS 5.2

 SET CLIPBOARD

 Enables the clipboard for copying, cutting, and pasting text, so you can
 transfer text between EVE and other DECwindows applications.

 o  The setting affects the following commands and keypad functions:

       COPY  or STORE TEXT         EDT Append key (KP9)
       CUT   or REMOVE             EDT Replace key (GOLD-KP9)
       PASTE or INSERT HERE        EDT Subs key (GOLD-ENTER)

 o  The default setting is NOCLIPBOARD, which uses EVE's Insert Here
    buffer.  WPS keypad functions do NOT use the clipboard, regardless of
    the setting.

 o  If you want the clipboard enabled for all or most editing sessions, put
    the SET CLIPBOARD command in your EVE initialization file.  However,
    for routine editing within EVE, using the Insert Here buffer may be
    faster, depending on the amount of text involved.
