EVE$HELP.HLB  —  SET_DEFAULT_SECTION_FILE
  SET DEFAULT SECTION FILE

  Determines the section file you want EVE to create to save attributes, key
  definitions, and other customizations, without your having to specify the
  file each time. Default file type is .TPU$SECTION.

  Example:

     The following commands set the default section file as
     MYSEC.TPU$SECTION in your SYS$LOGIN directory and then create
     that section file:

        Command: SET DEFAULT SECTION FILE sys$login:mysec
        Command: SAVE EXTENDED EVE

  Usage notes:

  o  If you use SET DEFAULT SECTION FILE and do not specify a file on the
     command line, EVE prompts you for one. The prompt shows the name of the
     current default section file, if one is set. Typically, this is
     EVE$SECTION.

  o  The following table shows the effects of SET DEFAULT SECTION FILE,
     depending on whether you enabled or disabled section file prompting for
     saving attributes:

     SET SECTION FILE PROMPTING      When you save attributes, EVE asks
     (default)                       whether to save in a section file.
                                     If you respond Yes, EVE saves in your
                                     default section file without asking
                                     for the file name.

     SET NOSECTION FILE PROMPTING    When you save attributes, EVE saves
                                     in your default section file without
                                     any further prompting.

  o  These settings or effects apply when you use SAVE ATTRIBUTES or SAVE
     SYSTEM ATTRIBUTES, or when you save attributes as part of exiting or
     quitting.

  o  Setting a default section file does not determine the section file
     loaded at startup, but only the section file for saving attributes and
     other customizations. For information about specifying a section file
     at startup, see help on Section Files.

  o  To save your setting for future editing sessions, use SAVE ATTRIBUTES
     to create a section file or to create or update a command file---see
     help on Attributes.
