SET FIND WHITESPACE

  Sets FIND and WILDCARD FIND to treat spaces, tabs, and up to one line
  break as "whitespace." Thus, you can search for a string of two or more
  words whether they are separated by any number of spaces or tabs or by a
  line break.

  Example:

     The following commands find "Mark Twain" whether the words are
     separated by spaces or tabs, or if "Mark" is at the end of a line and
     "Twain" is at the start of the next line:

        Command: SET FIND WHITESPACE
        Command: FIND mark twain

  Usage notes:

  o  Default is SET FIND NOWHITESPACE---searches match spaces and tabs
     exactly and search strings do not span a line break.

  o  The setting applies in all buffers, but is not saved in a section file
     or command file. If you want SET FIND WHITESPACE for future editing
     sessions, put that command in an initialization file (typically named
     EVE$INIT.EVE). See help on Initialization Files.

  o  On DECwindows, you can choose the setting as follows:

        1.  Choose Set Whitespace from the Search menu or choose
            Search Attributes from the Customize menu.

        2.  Choose Set Find Whitespace.

  o  You can also search across white space by using WILDCARD FIND,
     regardless of the setting. For example, with VMS wildcards, use ** (to
     match any amount of text, crossing lines) or \W (to match white space).
