EVE SET_CLIPBOARD — VMS 5.4

 SET CLIPBOARD

 Enables the clipboard for copying, cutting, and pasting, so you can
 transfer text between EVE and other DECwindows applications.

 Example:

 The following commands enable the DECwindows clipboard, select the entire
 buffer, and then copy the selection to the clipboard, rather than to the
 Insert Here buffer:

    Command: SET CLIPBOARD
    Command: SELECT ALL
    Command: STORE TEXT

 Usage notes:

 o  The clipboard setting affects the following commands and keys.
    WPS keys do NOT use the clipboard, regardless of the setting.

       EVE Commands                            EDT Keys
       ------------------------------          -------------
       COPY    STORE TEXT    BOX COPY          Append  (KP9)
       CUT     REMOVE        BOX CUT           EDT Repl (GOLD-KP9)
       PASTE   INSERT HERE   BOX PASTE         Subs  (GOLD-ENTER)

 o  You can use the clipboard only on DECwindows (typically when you invoke
    EVE using /INTERFACE=DECWINDOWS).  Default is SET NOCLIPBOARD, which
    uses EVE's Insert Here buffer.

 o  The setting applies in all buffers.  To save your setting for future
    editing sessions, use SAVE ATTRIBUTES to create a section file or to
    create or update a command file (see help on Attributes).  However, for
    routine editing within EVE, using the Insert Here buffer may be faster,
    depending on the amount of text involved.
