EVE MOVE_DOWN — VMS 5.4

 MOVE DOWN

 Moves the cursor down one line at a time.

 Keys:  EVE Default            VT100 Keypad
        -----------------------------------
        DOWN arrow             KP2

 Usage notes:

 o  If the cursor is free (default setting), it moves down in the same
    column, whether text is there or not.

 o  If the cursor is bound, it moves to the corresponding position on the
    next line, if any (as in EDT, WPS, and other editors).  For example, if
    you are at the end of a line longer than the next line, MOVE DOWN moves
    to the end of the next line.

 o  For continuous movement, you can hold down or repeat the DOWN arrow.
    If you are at the end of a buffer, the cursor does not move unless the
    buffer is shorter than the window length, and the cursor is FREE.

 o  MOVE DOWN does not cross window boundaries (if you are using two or
    more windows in EVE).  To move between windows, use NEXT WINDOW.
