  Buffer Attributes...

  Lets you toggle or choose settings that apply to the buffer you are
  editing:

     o  Set Buffer Modifiable
     o  Set Buffer Read_Only
     o  Set Left Margin and Set Right Margin
     o  Set Paragraph Indent
     o  Set Tabs At or Set Tabs Every
     o  Set Wrap

  Steps:

     1.  Choose Buffer Attributes from the Customize menu.

     2.  Click M1 on the settings you want, and type any required
         information, such as the left and right margin you want.

     3.  To apply the settings, click on APPLY (which keeps the dialog box
         displayed) or click on OK (which dismisses the dialog box).

         To discard any changes, click on CANCEL.

  Usage notes:

  o  Changing the buffer attributes does not affect existing text, except if
     you change the tab stops. For example, changing the margins or
     paragraph indent does not reformat or rewrap existing text. To reformat
     your text according to the new settings, use FILL commands.

  o  To use the same settings for all your buffers, put the relevant
     commands in an initialization file (typically named EVE$INIT.EVE) and
     use that file when you invoke EVE. For example, if you prefer a right
     margin of 70, put SET RIGHT MARGIN 70 in your initialization file. For
     more information, see help on Initialization Files.
