EVE NEXT_SCREEN — VMS 5.5

 NEXT SCREEN

 Scrolls vertically to show the next screen's worth of text, if any---
 roughly, the length of the current window.

 Keys:  EVE Default           VT100 Keypad
        ----------------------------------
        NEXT SCREEN           KP0

 Usage notes:

 o  If the cursor is free (default setting), it moves down in the same
    column on the screen, regardless of whether text is there or not.
    Conceptually, the cursor remains in the same position on the screen
    while the buffer scrolls down.

 o  If the cursor is bound, it moves up to the corresponding line position,
    depending on the shape of your text (as with EDT, WPS, and other
    editors).

 o  For continuous movement, you can hold down or repeat NEXT SCREEEN until
    you reach the bottom of the buffer.  NEXT SCREEN does not move the
    cursor across window boundaries (if you use more than one window in
    EVE).  To move between window, use use NEXT WINDOW.

 o  The EDT keypad redefines the NEXT SCREEN key on the mini keypad to
    scroll 75% of the window size.
