RETURN Inserts a carriage return (line break) at your current position to start a new line, or terminates an EVE command. In the BUFFER LIST, lets you view a buffer without having to type the buffer name. Key: EVE default VT100 keypad EDT keypad ------------------------------------------------- RETURN or ENTER RETURN ENTER Usage notes: o In terminating a command, you can have the cursor anywhere on the command line. Generally, if an EVE command prompts you for required information, such as a file name or other parameter, simply pressing RETURN at the prompt, without typing anything, cancels the operation. See help on Canceling. o In the Buffer List, RETURN lets you put a buffer into the current window without having to type the buffer name, as follows: 1. Use the SHOW BUFFERS command to list the buffers you created. 2. Put the cursor on the name of the buffer you want to view. 3. Use RETURN or SELECT to view that buffer. Because EVE defines the ENTER key as RETURN (except with the VT100 or WPS keypad), pressing ENTER also does the same thing. o CTRL/M and the RETURN key are the same. You cannot define CTRL/M or the RETURN key. However, you can define the ENTER key. o Because RETURN terminates a command, you cannot press RETURN to insert a carriage return in a search string, as in EDT. To search for strings that cross lines, use SET FIND WHITESPACE or use WILDCARD FIND. +----------------------------------------------------------------+ | When you are using HELP, pressing RETURN exits from HELP and | | resumes editing.
