EVE TWO_WINDOWS — VMS 5.5-2H4

 TWO WINDOWS

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

 Steps:

    1.  Use TWO WINDOWS.  The cursor appears in the new, lower window.
        Each window has its own status line, and displays the buffer
        you are currently editing.

    2.  To put a different buffer or file in 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

 Usage notes:

 o  To form three or more windows, use SPLIT WINDOW and specify the number
    of windows you want.  For example, SPLIT WINDOW 3 creates three windows
    of equal size.

 o  The maximum number of windows in EVE depends on the size and type of
    terminal you use.  Thus, with a 21-line main window, you can have 11
    windows, each displaying a line of text.

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