EVE GO_TO — VMS 5.5-2H4

 GO TO

 Puts the cursor at a specified marker.  Using MARK and GO TO makes it
 easier to move around in a large buffer or between buffers.

 Example:

    The following commands put an invisible mark at the current position,
    naming it CHAP ONE, and later return to that position:

       Command: MARK chap one
                  .
                  .
       Command: GO TO chap one

 Usage notes:

 o  If the marker you want to go to is in another buffer, GO TO puts that
    buffer into the current window and then moves the cursor to the marker.

 o  If you are using two windows and the marker is in another buffer in the
    other window, GO TO moves to the other window and puts the cursor on
    the marker.  This makes it easier to toggle between two buffers.

 o  Marker names are not case sensitive (you can use uppercase, lowercase,
    or mixed case).  You can abbreviate the marker name.  If more than one
    marker name matches your request, EVE shows a list of the matching
    names to choose from (see help on Choices Buffer).

 o  To find out names of markers in the buffer, use the SHOW command.

 o  Markers are NOT saved in the output file from session to session.
