EVE SET_NOCLIPBOARD — VMS 5.4

 SET NOCLIPBOARD

 (Default.)  Disables the clipboard so that copying, cutting, and pasting
 use EVE's Insert Here buffer.

 Example:

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

    Command: SET NOCLIPBOARD
    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  Enabling the clipboard lets you transfer text between EVE and other
    DECwindows applications.  However, for routine editing within EVE,
    using the Insert Here buffer may be faster, depending on the amount of
    text involved.

 o  To view the contents of the Insert Here buffer---for example, to check
    what you last copied or cut---use the command BUFFER INSERT HERE.

 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.
