OPEN SELECTED

 Opens the file whose name you have selected or found---same as GET FILE or
 OPEN without having to type the file name.  This is useful if the file has
 a long name, or a name similar to other files which could be mistyped.

 Steps:

    1.  Select or find the name of the file you want to open.

        The selection can be in EVE or in another DECwindows application
        running concurrently.  However, the selection cannot cross lines.

    2.  Use OPEN SELECTED.

 Usage notes:

 o  If the file is not already open, EVE creates a buffer using the file
    name and file type for the buffer name.  If the file exists, EVE copies
    it into the new buffer.  If the file does not exist---that is, if you
    are creating a new file---the new buffer is empty.  In either case, the
    new buffer has the same settings as the $DEFAULTS$ buffer (see help on
    Defaults).

 o  If the file is already open, EVE puts the buffer for that file into the
    current window, and returns the cursor to your last position in that
    buffer.  The settings of that buffer apply.

 o  If there is already a buffer with the same name as the file you specify
    but not associated with the file---for example, if you used BUFFER to
    create a buffer named MEMO.TXT---EVE asks for a different buffer name
    to use before creating the buffer.

 o  You can use logical names and wildcards in the file name---for example,
    you can select *.TXT.  If more than one file matches your request EVE
    shows a list of the matching file names to choose from (see help on
    Choices Buffer).  If you use a search list to specify the file or use
    wildcards for the device or directory (such as [...]), EVE opens the
    first matching file.  You can open only one file per command.

 o  For information on viewing and editing two or more files at the same
    time by using multiple windows in EVE, see help on Windows.
