  @ (at sign)

  Executes an initialization file you specify. An initialization file
  contains a list of EVE commands you want executed without having to type
  each command---for example, settings or key definitions. Default file type
  is .EVE.

  Examples:

    Commands                Effects
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    @ myinit                Executes an initialization file named MYINIT.EVE
                            in your current, default directory. On VMS, file
                            names are not case-sensitive.

    @ sys$login:eve$init    You can use @ to execute an initialization file
                            in case you did not use the /INITIALIZATION
                            qualifier when you invoked EVE---in this case,
                            to execute your default initialization file
                            (EVE$INIT.EVE) in your SYS$LOGIN directory.

  Usage notes:

  o  You can use more than one initialization file in an editing session,
     but can execute only one at a time. You cannot use wildcards to specify
     the initialization file, and you cannot use the @ command within an
     initialization file.

  o  If you use a search list to specify the file or use wildcards for the
     device (disk) or directory (such as [...]), EVE executes the first
     matching file, if there is one.

  o  When you use @, any commands in the initialization file that set buffer
     attributes, such as margins and tab stops, apply to the current buffer
     (see help on Defaults). For example, if your initialization file has
     the command SET RIGHT MARGIN 70, the setting applies to the current
     buffer. If you want the settings to apply to other buffers, you must go
     to each of those buffers and repeat the @ command.

  o  For an example of an initialization file, and information on using the
     /INITIALIZATION qualifier when you invoke EVE, see help on
     Initialization Files.
