  EVE (for Extensible Versatile Editor) is a general-purpose text editor,
  created with the VSI Text Processing Utility (TPU). You use EVE to create
  and edit text files. You can view and edit more than one file in a
  session.

  There are three ways to execute EVE commands:

     Commands      To type an EVE command, do the following:

                      1.  Press DO or PF4.  The Command: prompt appears.
                      2.  Type the command, such as CENTER LINE.
                      3.  Press RETURN to execute the command.

                   If necessary, EVE prompts you to type more information,
                   such as a file name or other parameter.

     Keys          EVE defines several keys for basic editing operations and
                   cursor movement. You can define keys, including GOLD key
                   combinations and learn sequences. You can also use SET
                   KEYPAD EDT or SET KEYPAD WPS.

     Menus         On DECwindows, EVE has pull-down and pop-up menus for
                   most common editing operations. Use M1 to choose commands
                   in pull-down menus, and use M3 to display a pop-up menu.
                   See help on Menus.
