EVE REVERSE — VMS 5.4

 REVERSE

 Sets the direction of the buffer to reverse---to the left and up.

 Key:  The EDT keypad defines KP5 as REVERSE.

 Usage notes:

 o  The direction of the buffer is shown in the status line.  It affects
    searches and some cursor-movement commands, such as MOVE BY LINE and
    similar EDT or WPS keys.  For a list of these commands and keys, see
    help on CHANGE DIRECTION.

 o  You can use a key defined as REVERSE as a terminator key for FIND or
    WILDCARD FIND to make the search begin in that direction:

       1.  Using FIND or WILDCARD FIND, let EVE prompt for the
           search string.

       2.  Type the search string, and then press a key defined as REVERSE.

    If you press RETURN instead, the search starts in the current direction
    of the buffer.

 o  The Forward or Reverse indicator on the status line is a toggle button
    ---clicking MB1 on the indicator is the same as using CHANGE DIRECTION.
    See help on Status Line.
