1. $ EDIT/TPU
Invokes TPU. By default, this runs EVE, creating an empty
buffer named MAIN. You can then simply start typing and editing,
or you can specify the file you want to edit by using the GET
FILE, OPEN, or OPEN SELECTED command.
2. $ EDIT/TPU /INTERFACE=DECWINDOWS
Invokes TPU, running EVE, with the DECwindows Motif interface.
For more information, see help on /DISPLAY or /INTERFACE.
3. $ EDIT/TPU jabber.txt
Edits a file named JABBER.TXT in your current, default directory.
If the file exists, EVE displays the text in the main window; if
you are creating a new file, the main window and buffer empty.
4. $ EDIT/TPU *.txt
EVE lets you use logical names and wildcards (such as *) to
specify the input file. If more than one file matches your
request, EVE shows a list of the matching files to choose from---
in this case, a list of files with the type .TXT. If no file
matches, EVE creates an empty buffer named MAIN.
5. $ EDIT/TPU jabber.txt,*.mail,*.lis,memo.txt
Edits files named JABBER.TXT and MEMO.TXT, and displays a list of
files matching *.MAIL. If more than one file matches *.LIS, EVE
issues a warning message that only one ambiguous file name is
allowed on the EDIT/TPU command line. If only a single file
matches *.LIS, EVE opens that file. If only a single file
matches *.MAIL, EVE opens that file and displays the list of any
files matching *.LIS.
EVE displays the first file in the main window. If JABBER.TXT
exists, EVE displays the text in the main window; if you are
creating a new file, the main window is empty.
6. $ EDIT/TPU memo.txt /RECOVER
Recovers the text of MEMO.TXT by using a buffer-change journal
file named MEMO_TXT.TPU$JOURNAL. See help on /RECOVER.
7. $ DEFINE TPU$SECTION sys$login:mysection
$ EDIT/TPU
Defines the TPU default section file as MYSECTION.TPU$SECTION
in your top-level, login directory and then invokes TPU using
that section file instead of the standard EVE section file. See
help on /SECTION.
