  Status Line

  The status line shows information about the buffer in the current EVE
  window and lets you toggle some settings by clicking M1 on the indicators.

     Indicators              Meanings or usage
     ----------------------------------------------------------------------
     Buffer: MAIN            Name of the buffer in that window---usually
         or                  the same as the file specified when you
     Buffer: JABBER.TXT      invoke EVE or when you use GET FILE, OPEN, or
                             OPEN SELECTED. To view your next buffer, if
                             any, click M1 on the buffer name.

     Write or Read-only      Whether exiting writes out the buffer if it has
                             been modified. To toggle the setting, click M1
                             on the indicator. See help on SET BUFFER.

     Insert or Overstrike    Mode for entering text. To toggle the mode,
                             click M1 on the indicator. See help on CHANGE
                             MODE.

     Forward or Reverse      Direction for searches and for some cursor-
                             movement commands and keys. To toggle the
                             direction, click M1 on the indicator. See help
                             on CHANGE DIRECTION.

  Usage notes:

  o  Using status line indicators with the mouse works on DECwindows,
     DECterm, or UIS.

  o  Each window you create in EVE has its own status line. For information
     about using multiple windows in EVE, see help on Windows.

  o  If you reduce the width of the window, the indicators at the left of
     the status line may be clipped because EVE tries to keep the buffer
     name full size. (For example, the Forward or Reverse indicator may be
     omitted.) EVE clips the name of the buffer only if the window is too
     narrow for the entire name to fit.
