EVE NEW — VMS 5.4

 NEW

 Creates a new buffer, putting it into the current EVE window, with the
 cursor at the top of the new buffer.

 Steps:

    1.  Use the NEW command.

    2.  The new buffer is named Main.  If a buffer named Main already
        exists, EVE prompts you for the name of the new buffer to create.

 Usage notes:

 o  The new buffer has the same margins, tab stops, and other settings as
    the $DEFAULTS$ buffer.  See help on Defaults.

 o  To save the edits you make in this buffer, use SAVE FILE AS or WRITE
    FILE.  Or, on exiting, EVE asks if you want to write out the buffer if
    it has been modified.  See help on EXIT.

 o  To create or edit another file, use GET FILE, OPEN, or OPEN SELECTED.
    Each of these commands creates a buffer with the same name as the file
    you specify.

 o  For information about using multiple windows in EVE to view and edit
    different buffers, see help on Windows.
