EVE PREVIOUS_SCREEN — VMS 5.5-2H4

 PREVIOUS SCREEN

 Scrolls vertically to show the previous screen's worth of text, if any---
 roughly, the length of the current window.

 Keys:  EVE Default           VT100 Keypad
        --------------------------------------
        PREV SCREEN           PERIOD on keypad

 Usage notes:

 o  If the cursor is free (default setting), it moves up in the same column
    on the screen regardless of whether text is there or not.
    Conceptually, the cursor remains in the same position on the screen
    while the buffer scrolls up.

 o  If the cursor is bound, it moves up to the corresponding line position,
    depending on the shape of your text (as with EDT, WPS, and other
    editors).

 o  For continuous movement, you can hold down or repeat PREV SCREEEN until
    you reach the top of the buffer.  PREVIOUS SCREEN does not move the
    cursor across window boundaries (if you use more than one window in
    EVE).  To move between window, use PREVIOUS WINDOW.

 o  The EDT keypad redefines the PREV SCREEN key on the mini keypad to
    scroll 75% of the window size.
