EVE SPLIT_WINDOW — VMS 5.5-2H4

 SPLIT WINDOW

 Splits the current EVE window into two or more windows.  This lets you
 view different buffers at the same time or different parts of the same
 buffer.

 Example:

    The following command splits the current window into three windows of
    approximately equal size:

       Command: SPLIT WINDOW 3

 Usage notes:

 o  Splitting a window puts the cursor in the new, lower window.  Each
    window has its own status line and displays the buffer you are
    currently editing.  To put a different buffer or file into the new
    window, use one of the following commands:

       BUFFER         NEW              PREVIOUS BUFFER
       GET FILE       OPEN             SHOW BUFFERS
       NEXT BUFFER    OPEN SELECTED    SHOW SYSTEM BUFFERS

    For more information about using multiple windows in EVE, see help on
    Windows.

 o  If you do not specify a number, SPLIT WINDOW is the same as the TWO
    WINDOWS command.  The maximum number of windows in EVE depends on the
    size and type of terminal you use.  Thus, with a 21-line main window
    (as on a VT220 terminal), you can have 11 windows, each displaying one
    line of text.
