EVE RESET — VMS 5.5

 RESET

 Cancels a selection or other operation, and sets the direction to FORWARD.

 Keys:  EVE Default             EDT and WPS Keypads
        ---------------------------------------------
        GOLD-SELECT             GOLD-PERIOD on keypad

 Usage notes:

 o  RESET cancels any of the following:

       *  Highlighting of a range or box with SELECT, BOX SELECT,
          FIND, or WILDCARD FIND (see help on Ranges And Boxes)

       *  A press of the GOLD key alone, or a GOLD-number sequence
          for a repeat count (with the EDT or WPS keypad)

       *  An incomplete or recalled command line, or $CHOICES$
          buffer display (if you typed an ambiguous command)

       *  Show display (from SHOW, SHOW DEFAULTS BUFFER, SHOW SUMMARY, or
          SHOW WILDCARDS), and returns to the buffer you were editing

 o  You can also cancel a selection by simply repeating SELECT, and you can
    cancel the highlighting of found text by moving the cursor out of the
    found range.

 o  RESET does not reset the terminal or redraw the screen.  Instead, use
    REFRESH (CTRL/W) to redraw the screen.

 o  GOLD-SELECT is a "sleeper" key---it is defined by default, but the
    definition must be activated by setting a GOLD key or by setting the
    EDT or WPS keypad.  See help on Gold Keys.
