Set Buffer Modifiable Determines whether you can edit (modify) the text in the buffer. Usage notes: o By default, buffers you create are modifiable. Typically you make a buffer unmodifiable to prevent inadvertently changing text you want to keep intact, such as reference data or a previous draft. o Making a buffer read-only also makes it unmodifiable. o If you create a "scratchpad" or temporary storage buffer, you may want to set it to read-only and modifiable; this lets you edit the buffer, but EVE does not write out that buffer on exiting. o You can also set the modification attribute by using SET BUFFER. o If you use REMOVE, CUT, or BOX CUT in an unmodifiable buffer, EVE does a STORE TEXT or BOX COPY instead. +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | For a list of EVE commands and other topics, press HELP and type ?. | +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ Related topics: Status Line SET BUFFER SHOW
