@ (at sign)
Executes an initialization file you specify. An initialization file
contains a list of EVE commands you want executed without having to type
each command---for example, settings or key definitions. Default file
type is .EVE.
Example:
The following command executes an initialization file named MYINIT.EVE
in your top-level (or login) directory:
Command: @ sys$login:myinit
Usage notes:
o You can use more than one initialization file in a session, but can
execute only one at a time. You cannot use @ within an initialization
file.
o You can use logical names to specify the initialization file (such as
EVE$INIT), but not wildcards. If you use a search list to specify the
file or use wildcards for the device or directory (such as [...]), EVE
executes the first matching file.
o When you use @, any commands in the initialization file that set buffer
attributes, such as margins and tab stops, apply to the current buffer.
For example, if your initialization file has the command SET RIGHT
MARGIN 70, the setting applies to the current buffer. See help on
Defaults.
o For an example of an initialization file, and information on using an
initialization file at startup, see help on Initialization Files.
