  Usage notes:

  o  Setting the WPS keypad makes PF1 the GOLD key, overriding any current
     definition of PF1. However, if you set a different key as GOLD, the WPS
     keypad uses your GOLD key without redefining PF1.

  o  The WPS keypad also defines the EVE default GOLD key sequences,
     (sometimes called "sleeper" keys) such as GOLD-FIND and GOLD-HELP, but
     redefines GOLD-F13 as Delete Beginning Sentence (see help on Gold
     Keys).

  o  If you define keys that WPS ordinarily defines, such as GOLD-R, PF4,
     KP0, or CTRL/J, your definitions override the WPS definitions.

  o  The WPS keypad redefines some EVE default keys---in particular the
     following. Learn sequences created before you enabled the WPS keypad
     may not replay properly because some keys are now redefined.

        Keys                      Definitions with SET KEYPAD WPS

        SELECT .................. SELECT (also sets forward direction)
        PF4 ..................... WPS Delete Character
        PERIOD .................. SELECT (also sets forward direction)

  o  To keep the WPS keypad for future editing sessions, do any of the
     following:

     *  Use SAVE EXTENDED EVE to create a section file which saves your key
        definitions in binary form---in effect, your own customized version
        of EVE. See help on Section Files.

     *  Put SET KEYPAD WPS in an initialization file (typically named
        EVE$INIT.EVE). See help on Initialization Files.

     *  Put EVE_SET_KEYPAD_WPS; in your command file (typically named
        TPU$COMMAND.TPU). See help on Command Files.

     *  On VMS define the EVE$KEYPAD logical name to be WPS. Other valid
        equivalence names are EDT, EVE, NUMERIC, and VT100. If you do not
        define this logical name, the keypad defaults to EVE which gives the
        VT100 keypad on VT100 terminals or the numeric keypad on VT200 and
        later terminals. This logical name overrides any keypad setting
        saved in a section file. You can override the effect of this logical
        name by setting the keypad in your initialization file or in your
        command file.

  o  You can use WPS key functions without having to enable the WPS keypad.
     For example, the following command defines GOLD-TAB as the WPS Tab
     Position key (KP8):

        Command: DEFINE KEY= gold-tab  wps kp8
