SHOW DEFAULTS BUFFER

 Shows information about an EVE system buffer named $DEFAULTS$---margins,
 tab stops, direction, mode, maximum lines, and so on.  These are the
 default settings used when you create new buffers.

 Steps:

    1.  Use SHOW DEFAULTS BUFFER.  The information appears appears in EVE's
        Show buffer, using a single, large window.

    2.  To scroll through the list, if necessary, press the up and down
        arrows or other cursor-movement keys.

    3.  To return to the buffer you were editing, press DO or a key defined
        as RESET (for example, GOLD-SELECT).

 Usage notes:

 o  If invoke EVE with an initialization file (typically, EVE$INIT.EVE),
    commands in that file for margins, tab stops, and other buffer settings
    apply to the $DEFAULTS$ buffer, so that each buffer you create has the
    same settings.  For example, if you always want a right margin of 70,
    put SET RIGHT MARGIN 70 in your initialization file.  See help on
    Initialization Files.

 o  If your initialization file does not have commands for buffer settings,
    the EVE default settings are used.  For information on changing the
    defaults, see help on Defaults.

 o  The output from SHOW DEFAULTS BUFFER remains in the Show buffer until
    you do another SHOW command (or until you exit from EVE).  To save the
    information, such as for keeping a record of your private settings, use
    the following commands---in this case, writing the Show buffer to a
    file named MYDEFAULTS.LIS:

       Command: BUFFER SHOW
       Command: WRITE FILE mydefaults.lis
