EVE FORWARD — VMS 5.5

 FORWARD

 (Default.)  Sets the direction of the buffer to forward---to the right and
 down.

 Key:  The EDT keypad defines KP4 as FORWARD.

 Usage notes:

 o  The direction affects searches and some cursor-movement commands, such
    as MOVE BY LINE and similar EDT or WPS keys.  For a list of these
    commands and keys, see help on CHANGE DIRECTION.

 o  You can use a key defined as FORWARD as a terminator key for FIND or
    WILDCARD FIND to make the search begin in that direction:

       1.  Using FIND or WILDCARD FIND, let EVE prompt for the
           search string.

       2.  Type the search string, and then press a key defined as FORWARD.

    If you press RETURN instead, the search starts in the current direction
    of the buffer.

 o  The Forward or Reverse indicator on the status line is a toggle button
    ---clicking MB1 on the indicator is the same as using CHANGE DIRECTION.
    See help on Status Line.
