WRITE FILE

 Writes out the current buffer to a file, saving its contents, without
 ending your editing session.  (Same as SAVE FILE or SAVE FILE AS.)

 Examples:

    Commands                Purposes or Effects
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    OPEN rough.dat          Opens a file called ROUGH.DAT, and then
    WRITE FILE final.txt    saves your edits in a file called FINAL.TXT,
                            rather than as a new version of ROUGH.DAT.

    OPEN memo.txt           Opens a file called MEMO.TXT, and then
    WRITE FILE              saves your edits in a new version of that file
                            or version 1 if you are creating a new file.

 o  Specifying an output file does not change the buffer name, but may
    change the output file specification of the buffer for later WRITE FILE
    or SAVE FILE commands or for exiting.  To check the output file
    specification of the buffer, use the SHOW command.

 o  If there is no file specification for the buffer -- that is, if you did
    not specify a file when you invoked EVE or when you created the buffer
    -- EVE asks for an output file specification.  Simply pressing RETURN
    at the prompt cancels the operation.

 Key:  The WPS keypad defines GOLD-W as WRITE FILE.
