EVE$HELP.HLB  —  SET_RIGHT_MARGIN
  SET RIGHT MARGIN

  Sets the right margin of the buffer to the column you specify. The setting
  applies to new text or text you reformat with CENTER LINE or FILL.

  Example:

     The following commands set the right margin to 65 and then reformat the
     current paragraph according to the new margin:

        Command: SET RIGHT MARGIN 65
        Command: FILL PARAGRAPH

  Usage notes:

  o  Default right margin is usually 79---one column less than the width
     (which is typically 80 columns). The right margin must be greater than
     the left margin.

  o  To find out the margins of the buffer, use the SHOW command, or with
     the WPS keypad, press the Ruler key (GOLD-R).

  o  Margins are buffer attributes---you can set a different left margin for
     each buffer you edit. For example, editing a source program in one
     buffer, you can use a left margin of 75; editing a memo in another
     buffer, you can use a left margin of 60.

  o  To set the same right margin for all your buffers, use an
     initialization file (typically named EVE$INIT.EVE) containing the SET
     RIGHT MARGIN command you want and use that file when you invoke EVE.
     See help on Initialization Files.

  o  SET WIDTH makes the right margin of the $DEFAULTS$ buffer one column
     less than the width you specify, but does not affect the margins of
     other, existing buffers. See help on Defaults.
