SAVE FILE

  Saves your edits, writing out the current buffer to a file, without ending
  the editing session (similar to WRITE FILE).

  Example:

     The following commands open a file named MEMO.TXT and then save your
     edits in a new version of the file (or version 1 if you are creating a
     new file):

        Command: OPEN memo.txt
                   .
                   .
        Command: SAVE FILE

  Usage notes:

  o  If there is no file associated with the buffer---if you did not specify
     a file when you invoked EVE or when you created the buffer---SAVE FILE
     asks you for an output file name. Specifying an output file does not
     change the buffer name, but does associate that file name with the
     buffer for later SAVE FILE or WRITE FILE commands or for exiting.

  o  To check the output file of the buffer, use the SHOW command.

  o  SAVE FILE closes the buffer-change journal file (if there is one).
     Subsequent changes to the buffer restart journaling (unless you
     disabled journaling for that buffer).

  o  If you save an EVE system buffer, such as the SHOW buffer or MESSAGES
     buffer, EVE asks you for an output file name.

  o  You cannot use SAVE FILE to write out a buffer other than the current
     buffer. However, on exiting, if any buffers were modified, EVE asks
     whether to write out those buffers.

  o  On VMS, file names are not case-sensitive. For example, MEMO.TXT and
     memo.txt specify the same file.

  o  On ULTRIX, existing files are copied to a backup file before being
     overwritten. This is the default behavior, but you can disable it or
     customize the way EVE creates the backup file spec. For help on backup
     files, see help on SET BACKUP CONTROL STRING.
