SET JOURNALING ALL

 (Default.)  Enables buffer-change journaling for all your text buffers.

 Example:

    In the following example, you invoke EVE using /NOJOURNAL, which
    disables buffer-change journaling, and then then enable journaling for
    all your buffers:

       $ EDIT/TPU/NOJOURNAL
                .
                .
       Command: SET JOURNALING ALL

 Usage notes:

 o  Buffer-change journal file are created in the directory defined by the
    logical name TPU$JOURNAL (default is SYS$SCRATCH, which is usually your
    top-level, login directory).

 o  The journal file names derive from the buffer names and the file type
    .TPU$JOURNAL.  For example, the journal file for the Main buffer is
    MAIN.TPU$JOURNAL.  If you edit a file named MEMO.TXT, the journal file
    is MEMO_TXT.TPU$JOURNAL.

 o  You cannot enable journaling for buffers that are modified.  First
    write out the buffers (by using WRITE FILE or SAVE FILE), and then
    enable journaling.

 o  To check the journal file name for the current buffer, use SHOW.  To
    get a list of all your buffer-change journal files, use the following
    command:

       Command: DCL DIRECTORY TPU$JOURNAL:*.TPU$JOURNAL

 o  Journal files contain information about the text you edit.  If you edit
    confidential data, be sure to keep the journal files secure, as well as
    the text files.

 o  For information about recovering your edits, see help on RECOVER
    BUFFER.

 +------------------------------  NOTE  -------------------------------+
 | Although journaling and recovery are quite reliable, the safest way |
 | to protect your work against a system failure is to write out your  |
 | edits frequently---particularly during all-day editing sessions.    |
