QUIT Ends the editing session without writing a new file or new version of an existing file---discarding the edits made during the session except those you have already written out with SAVE FILE or WRITE FILE. Key: The WPS keypad defines GOLD-K as QUIT. Steps: 1. Use the QUIT command or with the WPS keypad, press GOLD-K. 2. If you modified any buffers and have not written out your edits, EVE prompts you to confirm that you are quitting, to avoid accidentally losing your work. Type Yes to quit, or No to continue editing, and press RETURN. Usage notes: o If you did NOT modify any buffers, or if you have already written out your edits, QUIT does not prompt you for confirmation. Also, in such cases, EXIT and QUIT are the same. Thus, you can quit by pressing a key defined as EXIT, such as F10 or CTRL/Z. o By default, QUIT or EXIT prompts you whether to save attributes if you changed any during the editing session (for example, if you enabled pending delete, box-style selections, visible tabs, and so on): Command: QUIT Attributes were changed. Save them [YES]? If you want to save attributes, simply press RETURN---EVE then does a SAVE ATTRIBUTES before continuing with the exit. If you do not want to save attributes, type No and press RETURN. For more information, see help on Attributes. o If you do not want QUIT or EXIT to prompt you about saving attributes, use (and save) SET NOEXIT ATTRIBUTE CHECK. However, this setting does not apply to your current editing session, but only to subsequent sessions when you use the section file or command file in which you saved the setting.
