EVE EXIT — VMS 5.4

 EXIT

 Ends the editing session and, typically, writes out your edits to a new
 file or a new version of an existing file.

 Keys:  EVE Default                 WPS Keypad
        --------------------------------------
        CTRL/Z or F10               GOLD-F

 Steps:

    1.  Use EXIT (see key list above).

        EVE then writes out the current buffer if it has been modified.  If
        there is no file associated with the buffer---that is, if you
        invoked EVE without specifying an input file or if you created the
        buffer with the BUFFER or NEW command---EVE asks you for an output
        file name.

    2.  If you modified other text buffers and have not yet written them
        out, EVE asks if you want to write out each of those buffers and,
        if necessary, asks for the output file names to use.

 Usage notes:

 o  If you did NOT modify any text buffers, or if you already have written
    out all your edits, EXIT is the same as QUIT.  No new files or new
    versions are produced.

 o  By default, EXIT or QUIT prompts you whether to save attributes if you
    changed any during the editing session (for example, if you enabled
    pending delete, box-style selections, visible tabs, and so on):

       Command: EXIT
       Attributes were changed. Save them [YES]?

    If you want to save attributes, simply press RETURN---EVE then does a
    SAVE ATTRIBUTES before continuing with the exit (see help on
    Attributes).  If you do not want to save attributes, type No and press
    RETURN.

 o  If you do not want EXIT or QUIT to prompt you about saving attributes,
    use (and save) SET NOEXIT ATTRIBUTE CHECK.  However, this setting does
    not apply to your current editing session, but only to subsequent
    sessions when you use the sectionn file or command file in which you
    saved the setting.

 o  If you are accustomed to EDT, you may want to redefine CTRL/Z as DO, to
    emulate EDT-style "exit-to-line-mode."
