EVE FILL_PARAGRAPH — VMS 5.4

 FILL PARAGRAPH

 Reformats the current paragraph, so that the maximum number of words fits
 on a line according to the margins of the buffer.

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

 Steps:

    1.  Put the cursor anywhere in the paragraph you want to fill.

    2.  Use FILL PARAGRAPH.  The cursor moves to the end of the paragraph.

 Usage notes:

 o  "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  FILL PARAGRAPH deletes tabs and spaces at the start of each line in the
    paragraph, but does not affect tabs and spaces in the middle of a line
    or at the end of a line.
