 SET KEYPAD WPS

 Enables the WPS-style keypad, defining the numeric keypad and other keys,
 and sets the cursor to BOUND.

 | For a keypad diagram, press HELP or with the WPS keypad, GOLD-H.    |

 | For a list of key definitions, see help on Keys or press GOLD-HELP. |
 |                                                                     |

 Usage notes:

 o  The WPS keypad makes PF1 the GOLD key, overriding any current
    definition of PF1.  However, if you set a different key as GOLD, the
    WPS keypad uses your GOLD key without redefining PF1.

 o  Setting the WPS keypad defines EVE's default GOLD key sequences, such
    as GOLD-FIND and GOLD-HELP, but redefines GOLD-F13 as Delete Beginning
    Sentence (see help on Gold Keys).

 o  If you define keys that WPS ordinarily defines, such as GOLD-R, PF4,
    KP0, or CTRL/J, your definitions override the WPS definitions.

 o  To save the WPS keypad for future editing sessions, use SAVE EXTENDED
    EVE to create a section file.  Alternatively, put SET KEYPAD WPS in an
    initialization file (typically, EVE$INIT.EVE).

 o  The WPS keypad redefines some EVE default keys---in particular the
    following.  Learn sequences created before you set the WPS keypad may
    not "replay" properly, because the key definitions are now different.
