EVE SET_FIND_NOWHITESPACE — VMS 5.2

 SET FIND NOWHITESPACE

 Sets FIND and WILDCARD FIND commands to match spaces and tabs exactly as
 in the search string, rather than as "whitespace," and to search for
 strings that are entirely on one line.  (Default setting.)

 Example:

    The following commands find "Mark Twain" if there is exactly one space
    between the words and if they are on the same line:

       SET FIND NOWHITESPACE
       FIND mark twain

 To have searches treat spaces and tabs the same and to cross a line break,
 use the SET FIND WHITESPACE command.
