Examples

 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.
