EVE RESTORE — VMS 5.4

 RESTORE

 Inserts (undeletes) what you last erased with most ERASE commands or
 similar EDT or WPS keys.

 Keys:  EVE                        WPS Keypad
        -----------------------------------------------
        GOLD-INSERT HERE           GOLD-PF3 or GOLD-PF4

 Steps:

    1.  Put the cursor where you want to insert what you erased.

    2.  Use RESTORE (see key list above).

 Usage notes:

 o  RESTORE is the same as RESTORE LINE, RESTORE SENTENCE, or RESTORE WORD,
    depending on what you last erased with any of the following commands or
    keys:

       EVE Commands                  EDT Keypad or WPS Keypad
       ------------                  ------------------------
       ERASE LINE                    EDT Delete EOL
       ERASE PREVIOUS WORD           EDT Delete Line
       ERASE START OF LINE           EDT/WPS Delete Prev Word
       ERASE WORD                    EDT/WPS Delete Start Line
                                     EDT/WPS Delete Word
                                     WPS Delete Beginning Sentence

    For example, if your last erasure was done with ERASE LINE, then
    RESTORE is the same as RESTORE LINE.

 o  RESTORE does not rewrap text.  Depending on where and how much text you
    restore, your text may go past the right margin or even out of view.
    To reformat your text, use FILL.

 o  GOLD-INSERT HERE is a "sleeper" key---it is defined by default, but the
    definition must be activated by setting a GOLD key or by setting the
    EDT or WPS keypad.  See help on Gold Keys.

 o  The WPS keypad defines both GOLD-PF3 and GOLD-PF4 as RESTORE.
    Depending on the version of WPS you are accustomed to, you may want to
    redefine these keys as RESTORE WORD and RESTORE CHARACTER,
    respectively.
