EVE SHIFT_LEFT — VMS 5.5

 SHIFT LEFT

 Shifts the current window to the left by the number of columns you
 specify.

 This does not shift text in the buffer, but only the horizontal position
 of the window relative to the buffer, so you can view the undisplayed
 portion of very wide text, such as lines 100 characters long, without
 having to widen the EVE screen.

 Example:

    Commands          Purposes or Effects
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------
    SHIFT RIGHT 30    Shifts the current window 30 columns to the right,
                      so that column 31 of your text is in the leftmost
                      column of the window.

    SHIFT LEFT 30     Shifts the current window 30 columns to the left---so
                      that column 1 of your text is in the leftmost column
                      of the window.

 Usage notes:

 o  With each SHIFT command, EVE tells you the total number of columns the
    window is shifted.  To find out the current shift (if any), use SHOW.

 o  You cannot use SHIFT LEFT unless you used SHIFT RIGHT, and you cannot
    shift the window left beyond column 1.

 o  On DECwindows, you can shift the window to the left by clicking MB1 to
    the left of the thumb in the horizontal scroll bar.  See help on Scroll
    Bars.
