Library /sys$common/syshlp/EVE$HELP.HLB  —  SET_JOURNALING_ALL
  SET JOURNALING ALL    (default)

  Enables buffer-change journaling for all your text buffers.

  Example:

     In the following example, you invoke EVE using the /NOJOURNAL
     qualifier, which disables journaling, and then enable buffer-change
     journaling for all your buffers:

        $ EDIT/TPU /NOJOURNAL
              .
              .
        Command: SET JOURNALING ALL

  Usage notes:

  o  On VMS, buffer-change journal files are created the directory defined
     by the TPU$JOURNAL logical name (default is SYS$SCRATCH, which is
     usually your SYS$LOGIN directory).

  o  The journal file name derives from the name of the buffer or file you
     are editing and the file type .TPU$JOURNAL. For example, the journal
     file for the MAIN buffer is MAIN.TPU$JOURNAL. If you edit a file or
     buffer named MEMO.TXT, the buffer-change journal file is
     MEMO_TXT.TPU$JOURNAL. On VMS, buffer names and file names are not case-
     sensitive.

  o  You cannot enable journaling for buffers that are already modified.
     First write out the buffers (by using WRITE FILE or SAVE FILE), and
     then enable journaling.

  o  To check the journal file name for the current buffer, use the SHOW
     command. To get a list of all your buffer-change journal files, use the
     following command:

        Command: DCL DIRECTORY TPU$JOURNAL:*.TPU$JOURNAL;*

  o  Journal files contain information about the text you edit. If you edit
     confidential data, be sure to keep the journal files secure, as well as
     the text files.

  o  For information about recovering your edits, see help on the RECOVER
     BUFFER command.

  +---------------------------------------------------------------------+
  | Although journaling and recovery are quite reliable, the safest way |
  | to protect your work against a system failure is to write out your  |
  | edits frequently---particularly during all-day editing sessions.    |
