EVE SHOW — VMS 5.5-2H4

 SHOW

 Shows information about the current buffer or other buffers you created,
 such as:

    o  Name of the buffer
    o  Input and output files for the buffer, if any
    o  Journal file for the buffer, if any
    o  Whether the buffer has been modified or not
    o  Buffer settings, such as margins, tab stops, and paragraph indent
    o  Total number of lines in the buffer
    o  Names of markers in the buffer, if any
    o  List of nondefault key-map lists for the buffer, if any

 Steps:

    1.  Use SHOW.  The output appears in EVE's Show, buffer using a
        single, large window.

    2.  If you have other buffers, EVE first shows information about
        the current buffer.  Then, to show information about your
        other buffers, press DO.

    3.  To resume editing, press any other key or use RESET.

 The output from SHOW remains in the Show buffer until you do another SHOW
 command or until you exit from EVE.  To write out the information, such as
 for keeping a record of the margins and tab stops you used, use the
 following commands---in this case, saving the information in a file named
 SHOWINFO.LIS:

    Command: BUFFER SHOW
    Command: WRITE FILE showinfo.lis
