EVE SET_RIGHT_MARGIN — VMS 5.5-2H4

 SET RIGHT MARGIN

 Sets the right margin of the buffer to the column you specify.  The
 setting applies to new text or to text you reformat with CENTER LINE or
 FILL.

 Example:

    The following commands set the right margin to 65 and then reformat the
    current paragraph according to the new margin:

       Command: SET RIGHT MARGIN 65
       Command: FILL PARAGRAPH

 Usage notes:

 o  Default right margin is usually 79---one column less than the width
    (which is typically 80 columns).  The right margin must be greater than
    the left margin.

 o  To find out the margins of the buffer, use SHOW, or with the WPS
    keypad, press the Ruler key (GOLD-R).

 o  Margins are buffer attributes---you can set a different right margin
    for each buffer you edit.  For example, you can edit a source program
    in one buffer using a right margin of 78, and edit a memo in another
    buffer using a left margin of 65.

 o  Changing the margins does not affect existing text.  For example, you
    increase or decrease the right margin, use FILL commands to reformat
    text, and then restore the previous margin for editing the rest of the
    buffer.

 o  To set the same right margin for all your buffers, put SET RIGHT MARGIN
    in an initialization file (typically, EVE$INIT.EVE) and use that file
    when you invoke EVE.  For example, if your initialization file has the
    command SET RIGHT MARGIN 70, the setting applies to the Main (or first)
    buffer and to an EVE system buffer named $DEFAULTS$, so that each
    buffer you create has the same right margin.  See help on
    Initialization Files.

 o  SET WIDTH makes the right margin of the $DEFAULTS$ buffer one column
    less than the width you specify, but does not affect the margins of
    other, existing buffers.  See help on Defaults.
