EVE FILL — VMS 5.4

 FILL

 Reformats a range, box, or paragraph so the maximum number of words fits
 on a line (same as FILL RANGE or FILL PARAGRAPH).

 Typically, you use FILL after erasing, removing, or pasting text, or after
 changing the margins or paragraph indent.

 Steps:

    1.  Optionally, select or find the text to reformat (see help on
        Ranges And Boxes), or put the cursor anywhere in the paragraph
        you want to reformat.

    2.  Use FILL (see key list above).

 Usage notes:

 o  Filling a range or paragraph uses the current margins of the buffer.
    Filling a box uses the limits of the box, so you can reformat a list or
    part of a table without affecting adjacent text.

 o  If you used SET BOX SELECT, then FILL uses the start and end of a found
    range as diagonally opposite corners of a box.

 o  If there is a found range at the end of a selection, FILL works on the
    selection but not on the found text.

 o  If you do not select or find text, FILL reformats the current paragraph
    and moves the cursor to the end of that paragraph.  "Paragraphs" are
    bounded by any of the following:

       *  Blank line
       *  Top or bottom of the buffer
       *  Page break (form feed at the start of a line)
       *  RUNOFF command (such as .BREAK;) at the start of a line
       *  VAX DOCUMENT tag (such as <LE>) at the start of a line

 o  Filling a range or box keeps blank lines and page breaks as paragraph
    boundaries, so you can select several paragraphs or the entire buffer
    for reformating.  For example, if your selection contains lines
    beginning with RUNOFF commands or DOCUMENT tags, FILL does not reformat
    those lines, but does reformat the other lines in the range.

 o  FILL deletes tabs and spaces at the start of each line in the range or
    paragraph, but does not affect tabs and spaces in the middle or at the
    end.  If the range begins in the middle of a line, FILL does not delete
    tabs and spaces at the start of that line.

 o  Filling a box converts tab characters to spaces in the box or to the
    right of the box, to keep the column alignment of text.

 o  If the paragraph indent is not 0 (the default setting), you cannot fill
    a range unless the range starts at the start of a paragraph.
