EVE NEXT_BUFFER — VMS 5.5

 NEXT BUFFER

 Puts your next buffer into the current EVE window, if you have two or more
 buffers.  EVE returns the cursor to your last position in that buffer.

 This lets you switch between different buffers or cycle through several
 buffers without having to type their names.  It does not re-create a
 deleted buffer and does not return you to an EVE system buffer.

 Steps:

    1.  Use NEXT BUFFER or click MB1 on the buffer name indicator in
        the status line.

    2.  You can repeat step 1 to continue cycling through your buffers.

 Usage notes:

 o  If you have only two buffers, NEXT BUFFER and PREVIOUS BUFFER are the
    same---switching between the buffers.

 o  If you have more than two buffers, the next buffer is determined by the
    order in which you created the buffers.  Conceptually, the list of
    buffers is circular, so that repeating NEXT BUFFER cycles through your
    buffers.

 o  For a list of your buffers, use SHOW BUFFERS.

 o  For information about using multiple windows in EVE to view and edit
    different buffers, see help on Windows.
