EVE RECALL — VMS 5.4

 RECALL

 Recalls a previous EVE command, which you can edit or execute again.

 Key:   EVE defines CTRL/B as RECALL.

 Steps:

    1.  Press a key defined as RECALL, or press DO and UP arrow.

        Do NOT type the RECALL command.  If you type RECALL, that command
        itself is recalled.  Instead, use CTRL/B or a key you defined as
        RECALL.

    2.  The most recent command you typed reappears in the command window,
        with the cursor at the end of the command line.  You can then do
        any of the following:

        *  Edit the recalled command line by using defined keys, such as
           the DELETE key (<X]), CTRL/J, and so on.  See help on Editing
           Command Lines.

        *  Recall another command by pressing CTRL/B or by pressing the UP
           arrow---effectively, scrolling back through the Commands buffer.

        *  Execute the recalled command by pressing RETURN or DO.

        *  Cancel the recalled command by erasing the command line (for
           example, by pressing CTRL/U) or by pressing a key defined as
           RESET (such as GOLD-SELECT).  See help on Canceling.

 Usage notes:

 o  RECALL recalls typed commands---you cannot recall commands executed by
    menu items or by defined keys.  EVE has two system buffers for storing
    typed commands and parameters.  The Commands buffer stores commands
    that you type.  The $PROMPTS$ buffer stores responses to command
    prompts.

 o  If you entered an incomplete command---that is, letting EVE prompt you
    for a search string, file name, or other parameter---then pressing
    CTRL/B or any key defined as RECALL recalls your previous responses,
    effectively scrolling back through the $PROMPTS$ buffer).  See help on
    Prompts And Responses.
