EVE SET_FUNCTION_KEYS_DECWINDOWS — VMS 5.5-2H4

 SET FUNCTION KEYS DECWINDOWS

 Defines or redefines some function keys the same as in other DECwindows
 applications.

    Key               Definition with SET FUNCTION KEYS DECWINDOWS
    --------------------------------------------------------------
    SHIFT/<X] ....... Erase Character (character the cursor is on)
    SHIFT/FIND ...... Find Next
    F12 ............. Start Of Line
    SHIFT/F12 ....... End Of Line
    F13 ............. EDT/WPS Delete Previous Word (left of cursor)
    SHIFT/F13 ....... EDT/WPS Delete Word (from cursor to end of word)

 Usage notes:

 o  This overrides the current definitions of the keys, whether EVE
    default, EDT keypad, or WPS keypad---but does not override definitions
    done with DEFINE KEY or LEARN.  Learn sequences created before you
    enabled DECwindows function keys may not "replay" properly, because the
    keys are now defined differently.

 o  Shifted function keys work on DECwindows---not on character-cell
    terminals, such as a VT220 or VT100.

 o  To save the DECwindows-style function keys for future editing sessions,
    use SAVE EXTENDED EVE or SAVE ATTRIBUTES to create a section file, or
    put SET FUNCTION KEYS DECWINDOWS in an initialization file (typically,
    EVE$INIT.EVE).
