PREVIOUS BUFFER
Puts your previous buffer into the current EVE window, if you have two or
more buffers. EVE returns the cursor to your last position in that buffer.
Example:
In the following example, you first edit a file named JABBER.TXT, and
then edit a file named WOCKY.TXT. Using PREVIOUS BUFFER returns to your
last position in JABBER.TXT.
Command: GET FILE jabber.txt
Command: GET FILE wocky.txt
Command: PREVIOUS BUFFER
Usage notes:
o If you have only two buffers, PREVIOUS BUFFER and NEXT BUFFER are the
same---switching between the buffers. If you have more than two
buffers, the previous buffer is determined by the order in which you
created the buffers. Conceptually, the list of buffers is circular, so
that repeating PREVIOUS BUFFER cycles through your buffers.
o For a list of your buffers, use the SHOW BUFFERS command.
o PREVIOUS BUFFER or NEXT BUFFER does not re-create a deleted buffer and
does not return you to an EVE system buffer.
o For information about using multiple windows in EVE to view and edit
different buffers, see help on Windows.
