EVE SHIFT_RIGHT — VMS 5.2

 SHIFT RIGHT

 Shifts the current window to the right by the number of columns you
 specify.

 Using SHIFT LEFT and SHIFT RIGHT commands does not shift text in the
 buffer, but only the horizontal position of the window relative to the
 buffer.  This lets you view the undisplayed portion of very wide text,
 such as lines 100 characters long, without having to widen the EVE screen
 or use 132-column mode.

 Example:

    The following commands shift the window 30 columns to the right and
    then back to the left:

       SHIFT RIGHT 30
       SHIFT LEFT 30

 o  You cannot shift the window left beyond column 1.

 o  To find out the current shift (if any), use the SHOW command.
