SHOW BUFFERS
Lists the buffers you created and puts the cursor in the list so you can
view or delete a buffer without having to type the buffer name.
Steps:
1. Use SHOW BUFFERS to list the buffers you created.
The list appears in an EVE system buffer named Buffer List in the
current window. The name of the buffer you were in is highlighted
in bold video and the cursor is on the name of that buffer (unless
you were in a system buffer).
2. Move the cursor to the name of a buffer in the list. You can put
the cursor anywhere on the line referring to that buffer.
3. To put that buffer into the current window, use SELECT or RETURN.
To delete that buffer, use REMOVE, CUT, or BOX CUT.
Usage notes:
o This is effectively the same as using the BUFFER or DELETE BUFFER
respectively, without having to type the buffer name.
o To copy the Buffer List---for example, if you want to keep a list of
the buffers or files you edited---do the following:
1. Use SHOW BUFFERS to get a list of your buffers.
2. Use SELECT ALL to select the entire BUFFER LIST.
3. Use STORE TEXT or COPY.
o On DECwindows, you can use the mouse to select all or part of the
Buffer List to cut or copy it, as follows:
1. Use SHOW BUFFERS to get a list of your buffers.
2. Drag MB1 to select the text you want to cut or copy.
3. Cut or copy the selection by using REMOVE or STORE TEXT.
