  GOLD Keys

  The GOLD key increases the possible key bindings for function keys,
  control keys, and typing keys. You press GOLD and then another key.

  Example:

     The following commands set PF1 as the GOLD key and then define the
     sequence of GOLD and the letter C (or c) as CENTER LINE. Typing the
     letter by itself still enters that character.

        Command: SET GOLD KEY pf1
        Command: DEFINE KEY= gold-c  center line

  Usage notes:

  o  In naming GOLD key sequences, use a dash, slash, or underscore---for
     example, GOLD-PF2, GOLD-F20, GOLD-KP0, and so on. Key names are not
     case-sensitive (for example, GOLD-A and GOLD-a are the same). See help
     on Names For Keys).

  o  EVE does not have a default GOLD key. Using SET GOLD KEY, SET KEYPAD
     EDT, or SET KEYPAD WPS defines the following GOLD key sequences---
     sometimes called "sleeper" keys because they are defined by default but
     must be enabled by setting the GOLD key:

     Key Sequences          Definitions
     ----------------------------------------------------------------------
     GOLD-F13 ............. Restore Word OR WPS Delete Beginning Sentence
     GOLD-HELP ............ Help Keys (list of definitions)
     GOLD-FIND ............ Wildcard Find
     GOLD-INSERT_HERE ..... Restore                [NOTE: The EDT or WPS
     GOLD-REMOVE .......... Store Text             keypad defines some
     GOLD-SELECT .......... Reset                  additional GOLD key
     GOLD-PREV_SCREEN ..... Previous Window        sequences, and lets
     GOLD-NEXT_SCREEN ..... Next Window            you use GOLD-number
     GOLD-UP arrow ........ Top                    sequences for repeat
     GOLD-LEFT arrow ...... Start Of Line          counts or uses.]
     GOLD-DOWN arrow ...... Bottom
     GOLD-RIGHT arrow ..... End Of Line

  o  The EDT or WPS keypad makes PF1 the GOLD key, unless you set a
     different key as GOLD. You can have only one key set as the GOLD key.
     Also, if you define keys that are otherwise defined by EDT or WPS, such
     as GOLD-PF4, your definitions override the EDT or WPS definitions.

  o  To keep your GOLD key and other key definitions for future editing
     sessions, do either of the following:

     *  Use SAVE EXTENDED EVE to create a section file which saves your key
        definitions in binary form---in effect, your own customized version
        of EVE. See help on Section Files.

     *  Put SET GOLD KEY and other key-definition commands in an
        initialization file (typically named EVE$INIT.EVE). See help on
        Initialization Files.
