EVE SET_DEFAULT_COMMAND_FILE — VMS 5.5

 SET DEFAULT COMMAND FILE

 Determines the TPU command file you want EVE to create or update for
 saving attributes, without your having to specify the command file each
 time.  Default file type is .TPU.

 Example:

    If you always want to save in a command file, you can use (and save)
    the following commands, so that when you save attributes, EVE asks
    whether to save in a command file and shows the name of your default
    command file in the prompt line---in this case, the default command
    file is named MYCOMM.TPU in your top-level, login directory:

       Command: SET NOSECTION FILE PROMPTING
       Command: SET DEFAULT COMMAND FILE sys$login:mycomm

 Usage notes:

 o  If you do not specify a file on the command line, EVE prompts you for
    one.  The prompt shows the name of the current default command file, if
    one is set.  If you have not already set a default command file, the
    prompt shows one of the following:

       *  The command file specified with /COMMAND= when you invoked EVE

       *  The command file defined by the logical name TPU$COMMAND

       *  TPU$COMMAND.TPU in your current, default directory

 o  Setting a default command file does not determine the command file
    executed at startup, but only the command file for saving attributes.
    For information on specifying a command file at startup, see help on
    Command Files or see DCL help on EDIT/TPU/COMMAND.

 o  To save your setting for future editing sessions, use SAVE ATTRIBUTES
    to create a section file or to create or update a command file.  See
    help on Attributes.
