EVE SHOW_WILDCARDS — VMS 5.4

 SHOW WILDCARDS

 Lists the wildcards (sometimes called "meta-characters") you can use with
 WILDCARD FIND---either VMS or ULTRIX, depending on your setting (default
 is VMS).

 Steps:

    1.  Use SHOW WILDCARDS.  The list 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).

 The output from SHOW WILDCARDS remains in the Show buffer until you do
 another SHOW command (or until you exit from EVE).  To write out the list
 of wildcards, so you can print the list, use the following commands---in
 this case writing the list to a file called WILDCARDS.LIS:

    Command: BUFFER SHOW
    Command: WRITE FILE wildcards.lis
