GET FILE

  Same as OPEN---puts the file you specify into the current EVE window,
  creating a new buffer if necessary. This lets you create or edit another
  file in the same session.

  Examples:

     Commands              Effects
     ----------------------------------------------------------------------
     GET FILE memo.txt     Gets a file named MEMO.TXT, putting it into the
                           current window. On VMS, file names are not case-
                           sensitive.

     GET FILE *.txt        You can use wildcards to specify the file---in
                           this case, to get a file with the type .TXT. If
                           only one file matches your request, EVE gets that
                           file. If more than one matches, EVE shows a list
                           of the matching files so you can choose the one
                           you want---see help on Choices Buffer. You get
                           only one file per command.

  Usage notes:

  o  If the file is not already open, EVE creates a buffer using the file
     name and file type for the buffer name. If the file exists, EVE copies
     it into the new buffer. If the file does not exist---if you are
     creating a new file---the new buffer is empty. In either case, the new
     buffer has the same settings as the $DEFAULTS$ buffer (see help on
     Defaults).

  o  If the file is already open, EVE puts the buffer for that file into the
     current window and puts the cursor at your last position in that
     buffer. The settings of that buffer apply.

  o  If there is already a buffer with the same name as the file you specify
     but not associated with the file---for example, if you used the BUFFER
     command to create a buffer named MEMO.TXT---EVE asks for a different
     buffer name to use before creating the buffer.

  o  If you use a search list to specify the file or use wildcards for the
     device (disk) or directory (such as [...]), EVE gets the first matching
     file. For example, the following command gets the first MEMO.TXT file
     found:

        Command: GET FILE [...]memo.txt

  o  For information on viewing and editing two or more files at the same
     time by using multiple windows in EVE, see help on Windows.
