REVERSE

  Sets the direction of the buffer to reverse---to the left and up.

  Key:   The EDT keypad defines KP5 as REVERSE.

  Usage notes:

  o  The direction of the buffer is shown in the status line. It affects
     searches and some cursor-movement commands, such as MOVE BY LINE and
     similar EDT or WPS keys.

  o  If your system has a mouse, you can toggle the direction of the buffer
     by clicking M1 on the Forward or Reverse indicator in the status line.
     This works on DECwindows, DECterm, or UIS. See help on Status Line.

  o  You can use a key defined as REVERSE as a terminator for FIND or
     WILDCARD FIND to make the search begin in that direction:

        1.  Let FIND or WILDCARD FIND prompt you for the search string.
        2.  Type the search string and then press a key defined as REVERSE.

     If you press RETURN instead, the search starts in the current direction
     of the buffer (shown in the status line). For more information, see
     help on Prompts And Responses.

  o  For buffers you create, the default direction is forward. For editing
     EVE command lines, the default direction (on character-cell terminals)
     is REVERSE. See help on Editing Command Lines.
