/sys$common/syshlp/EVE$KEYHELP.HLB  —  Primary Selection Restore
  Primary Selection Restore Motif function key

  Restores the primary DECwindows selection and its highlighting to EVE,
  possibly grabbing it from another application.

  Key:   CTRL/SHIFT/E4       Motif function key

  Usage notes:

  o  A primary selection is typically created by SELECT and appears in
     reverse video, or by BOX SELECT and appears in bold video.

  o  When you move ownership of the primary selection from EVE to another
     Motif application, EVE removes the highlighting and saves the
     selection.  Pressing CTRL/SHIFT/E4 restores the primary selection to
     EVE.

  o  If SET SELECTION GRAB FOCUS is in effect, then when you give EVE the
     input focus, EVE automatically grabs the primary selection and restores
     the selection, if any, that was active when it lost the primary
     selection.  The alternate behavior is to grab the primary selection
     only when you select text.  See help on SET SELECTION GRAB SELECTION.

  o  Motif function keys are on by default on DECwindows.
