Library /sys$common/syshlp/EVE$HELP.HLB  —  QUIT
  QUIT

  Ends the editing session without writing a new file or new version of an
  existing file---discarding the edits made during the session except those
  you have already written out with SAVE FILE or WRITE FILE.

  Key:   The WPS keypad defines GOLD-K as QUIT.

  Steps:

     1.  Use the QUIT command or with the WPS keypad, press GOLD-K.

     2.  If you modified any buffers and have not written out your
         edits, EVE prompts you to confirm that you are quitting,
         to avoid accidentally losing your work.

         Type Yes to quit, or No to continue editing, and press RETURN.

  Usage notes:

  o  If you did NOT modify any buffers, or if you have already written out
     your edits, QUIT does not prompt you for confirmation. Also, in such
     cases, EXIT and QUIT are the same. Thus, you can quit by pressing a key
     defined as EXIT, such as F10 or CTRL/Z.

  o  By default, QUIT or EXIT prompts you whether to save attributes if you
     changed any during the editing session (for example, if you enabled
     pending delete, box-style selections, visible tabs, and so on):

        Command: QUIT
        Attributes were changed. Save them [YES]?

     If you want to save attributes, simply press RETURN---EVE then does a
     SAVE ATTRIBUTES before continuing with the exit. If you do not want to
     save attributes, type No and press RETURN. For more information, see
     help on Attributes.

  o  If you do not want QUIT or EXIT to prompt you about saving attributes,
     use (and save) SET NOEXIT ATTRIBUTE CHECK. However, this setting does
     not apply to your current editing session, but only to subsequent
     sessions when you use the section file or command file in which you
     saved the setting.
