EVE SET_NOWRAP — VMS 5.5

 SET NOWRAP

 Disables automatic word wrap, so that as you type at the end of a line,
 your text can go past the right margin.  Depending on the width of the EVE
 window, your text may go out of view.

 Usage notes:

 o  SET NOWRAP is useful when you are editing very long lines, which may
    have to go past the right margin, such as multicolumn tables or program
    statements that are progressively indented.

 o  Word wrap is a buffer attribute.  Thus, you can use SET NOWRAP when
    editing a buffer that contains a wide table or progressively indented
    program statements, but use SET WRAP (which is the default setting) in
    other buffers.

 o  To find out if word wrap is enabled, use SHOW.
