EVE SET_NOSECTION_FILE_PROMPTING — VMS 5.5-2H4

 SET NOSECTION FILE PROMPTING

 Disables prompting for a section file for saving attributes.

 Example:

    If you always want to save in a command file, you can use (and save)
    the following commands, so that when you save attributes, EVE asks
    whether to save in a command file and shows the name of your default
    command file in the prompt line:

       Command: SET NOSECTION FILE PROMPTING
       Command: SET DEFAULT COMMAND FILE

 Usage notes:

 o  The following table shows the effects of SET NOSECTION FILE PROMPTING,
    depending on whether you set a default section file for saving
    customizations:

    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    SET DEFAULT SECTION FILE     When you save attributes, EVE saves in
                                 your default section file without asking
                                 for the name of the file.

    SET NODEFAULT SECTION FILE   (Default.)  When you save attributes, EVE
                                 asks whether to save in a command file.
                                 If you respond Yes, EVE then asks for the
                                 name of the command file.

 o  Typically you disable section-file prompting to speed up exiting or
    attribute saving, or when you always want to save in a command file
    (which uses less disk space than a section file).

 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.
