EVE SET_EXIT_ATTRIBUTE_CHECK — VMS 5.5-2H4

 SET EXIT ATTRIBUTE CHECK

 (Default.)  Enables attribute checking on exiting, so that if you changed
 attributes, EVE asks whether you want to save your changes.

 Thus, when you exit or quit, if you changed attributes, such as bound or
 free cursor, tab modes, and so on, EVE asks if you want to save them:

    Command: EXIT
    Attributes were changed. Save them [YES]?

 If you type Yes (or simply press RETURN), EVE does a SAVE ATTRIBUTES
 before continuing with the exit.  Depending on your other settings or
 responses to prompts, you save in a section file or command file.

 If you type No, EVE continues exiting or quitting without saving
 attributes.

 Usage notes:

 o  To save your setting for future editing sessions, use SAVE ATTRIBUTES
    to create a section file or to create or update a command file.  See
    help on Attributes.

 o  To make exiting somewhat faster, you can disable attribute checking.
    However, SET NOEXIT ATTRIBUTE CHECK does not apply to the current
    editing session, but only to subsequent sessions using the section file
    or command file in which you saved that setting.
