SHOW DEFAULTS BUFFER

  Shows information about an EVE system buffer named $DEFAULTS$---margins,
  tab stops, direction, mode, maximum lines, and so on. These are the
  default settings used when you create new buffers.

  Steps:

     1.  Use the SHOW DEFAULTS BUFFER command. The information appears in
         the SHOW buffer, using the entire EVE main window.

     2.  To scroll through the list, if necessary, press the UP and
         DOWN arrows or other cursor-movement keys.

     3.  To return to the buffer you were editing, press DO or a key
         defined as RESET (such as GOLD-SELECT).

  Usage notes:

  o  If invoke EVE with an initialization file (typically named
     EVE$INIT.EVE), commands in that file for margins, tab stops, and other
     buffer settings apply to the $DEFAULTS$ buffer, so that each buffer you
     create has the same settings. For example, if you prefer a right margin
     of 70, put SET RIGHT MARGIN 70 in your initialization file. See help on
     Initialization Files.

  o  If your initialization file does not have commands for buffer settings,
     the EVE default settings are used. For information on changing the
     defaults, see help on Defaults.

  o  Output from SHOW DEFAULTS BUFFER remains in the SHOW buffer until you
     do another SHOW command or you exit from EVE. To save the information,
     such as for keeping a record of your private settings, use the
     following commands---in this case, writing the SHOW buffer to a file
     named MYEVE_DEFAULTS.LIS:

        Command: SHOW DEFAULTS BUFFER
        Command: BUFFER SHOW
        Command: WRITE FILE myeve_defaults.lis
