EVE MOVE_LEFT — VMS 5.5

 MOVE LEFT

 Moves the cursor left one character at a time.

 Keys:  EVE Default            VT100 Keypad
        -----------------------------------
        LEFT arrow             KP1

 Usage notes:

 o  If the cursor is free (default setting), you can move it anywhere in
    the buffer, whether text is there or not.  For example, if the left
    margin is greater than 1, you can move left of the left margin, which
    is useful in creating tables and lists.

 o  If the cursor is bound, then from the start of a line, it moves to the
    end of the previous line, if there is one.  See help on SET CURSOR
    BOUND.
