EVE EXTEND_EVE — VMS 5.5

 EXTEND EVE

 Compiles one or more TPU procedures to extend the editor (same as
 EXTEND TPU).

 Steps:

    1.  Put the procedures you want to compile into an EVE buffer---for
        example, by getting a TPU command file.

    2.  Use EXTEND EVE and specify a procedure name (see examples below).

 Examples:

    Commands             Purposes or Effects
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    EXTEND EVE myproc    Compiles a procedure named MYPROC in the current
    TPU myproc           buffer.  To execute the compiled procedure, use
                         the TPU command and specify the procedure name.

    EXTEND EVE *         Compiles all the procedures in the current buffer
                         ---same as EXTEND ALL.

 Usage notes:

 o  You can abbreviate the procedure name.  If more than one procedure name
    matches your request, EVE shows a list of the matching names for you to
    choose from (see help on Choices Buffer).

 o  To compile the procedure that the cursor is on, without having to type
    its name, use EXTEND THIS.  For a sample procedure, see help on Command
    Files.

 o  Compiler messages appear in the message window at the bottom of the EVE
    screen.  To view all the messages, use the command BUFFER MESSAGES.
    See help on Message Buffer.

 o  To save save your compiled procedures for future editing sessions, use
    SAVE EXTENDED EVE or SAVE ATTRIBUTES to create a section file.  See
    help on Section Files.
