EVE SHOW_KEY — VMS 5.5

 SHOW KEY

 Shows the current definition of a key you specify.  You can type the key
 name on the command line or let EVE prompt you to press the key to be
 shown.

 Example:

    The following command shows the definition of GOLD-KP8 when you are
    using the EDT keypad.  EVE displays the definition in the message
    window (bottom line of the screen).

       Command: SHOW KEY gold-kp8
       GOLD/KP8 is defined as 'fill' in the EDT keypad.

 Usage notes:

 o  EVE key names are usually the same as at DCL (see help on Names For
    Keys).  In specifying key combinations, use a dash, slash, or
    underscore as a delimiter in the key name.

 o  If you do not type the key name on the command line, SHOW KEY prompts
    you to press the key you want to know about:

       Function key ........... such as F20, PF3, KP0, or ENTER
       GOLD key sequence ...... such as GOLD-A or GOLD-PF3
       Control key ............ such as CTRL/D
       Shifted function key ... such as SHIFT/F14 (DECwindows only)
       ALT key combination .... such as ALT/Z     (DECwindows only)
       Mouse .................. such as MB3CLICK  (DECwindows only)

 o  If the specified key is defined for a learn sequence, SHOW KEY tells
    you the key is defined as "Sequence."
