EVE @ — VMS 5.5-2H4

 @ (at sign)

 Executes an initialization file you specify.  An initialization file
 contains a list of EVE commands you want executed without having to type
 each command---for example, settings or key definitions.  Default file
 type is .EVE.

 Example:

    The following command executes an initialization file named MYINIT.EVE
    in your top-level (or login) directory:

       Command: @ sys$login:myinit

 Usage notes:

 o  You can use more than one initialization file in a session, but can
    execute only one at a time.  You cannot use @ within an initialization
    file.

 o  You can use logical names to specify the initialization file (such as
    EVE$INIT), but not wildcards.  If you use a search list to specify the
    file or use wildcards for the device or directory (such as [...]), EVE
    executes the first matching file.

 o  When you use @, any commands in the initialization file that set buffer
    attributes, such as margins and tab stops, apply to the current buffer.
    For example, if your initialization file has the command SET RIGHT
    MARGIN 70, the setting applies to the current buffer.  See help on
    Defaults.

 o  For an example of an initialization file, and information on using an
    initialization file at startup, see help on Initialization Files.
