SAVE FILE AS

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

  Example:

     The following commands open a file named ROUGH.DAT in the current
     window and then save your edits as a file named FINAL.TXT, rather than
     as a new version of ROUGH.DAT:

        Command: OPEN rough.dat
                   .
                   .
        Command: SAVE FILE AS final.txt

  Usage notes:

  o  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 and for exiting (except with system buffers).

  o  If you do NOT specify an output file, SAVE FILE AS asks for one. If you
     then do not specify a file name, EVE uses the output file associated
     with the buffer, if there is one (same as SAVE FILE). Typically, this
     is the same as the file specified when you invoked EVE or when you
     created the buffer with the GET FILE, OPEN, or OPEN SELECTED command.

  o  If you specify only the directory, EVE writes the output file to that
     directory using the same file name and file type associated with the
     buffer. This is useful if you want to save the file in a different
     directory but with the same name.

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

  o  SAVE FILE AS 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  You cannot use SAVE FILE AS 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.
