EVE SET_CURSOR_BOUND — VMS 5.2

 SET CURSOR BOUND

 Sets the cursor to a bound state, following the flow or shape of your
 text, as in EDT, WPS, and other editors.

 o  A bound cursor cannot move into unused portions of the buffer (or
    "whitespace").  For example, if you are at the end of a line and press
    the right arrow key, the cursor moves to the start of the next line --
    it does NOT move past the right margin.

 o  The default setting is FREE -- the cursor can move anywhere in the
    buffer whether characters are already there or not.

 o  If you are accustomed to a bound cursor (as in EDT), you may want to
    put SET CURSOR BOUND in your EVE initialization file.  Using the SET
    KEYPAD WPS command automatically sets the cursor to BOUND.
