ATTACH

 Attaches control to another process or subprocess.  This suspends, but
 does not end, your editing session.  ATTACH does not create the other
 process or subprocess.

 Examples:

    Command           Purpose or Effect
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    ATTACH Geoff_1    Attaches to a subprocess named Geoff_1.  Process
                      names are case sensitive and up to 15 characters.
                      You cannot use a numeric process ID.

    ATTACH            If you do not specify a process name, you attach to
                      the parent process.  This is useful if you run EVE
                      in a subprocess as a "kept" editor.

 Usage notes:

 o  Using ATTACH and SPAWN lets you keep an editing session active
    throughout your entire VMS session (or login).  This makes it faster to
    resume editing, but uses more system resources.

 o  To check if there is a subprocess running, use the DCL command SHOW
    PROCESS/SUBPROCESS.

 o  You cannot use ATTACH with the DECwindows interface.

 o  To execute a single DCL command uring your editing session, use the EVE
    command DCL.  For example, the command DCL DIRECTORY *.TXT puts a
    directory list of files into a buffer in a second window.  You can
    remove or copy the directory list and insert it into another buffer.
