  SAVE EXTENDED EVE

  Creates a section file to save key definitions, menu definitions, compiled
  procedures, and most global attributes (same as the SAVE EXTENDED TPU
  command). Default file type is .TPU$SECTION.

  Examples:

     Commands                           Effects
     ----------------------------------------------------------------------
     SET DEFAULT SECTION FILE mysec     Sets your default section file as
     SAVE EXTENDED EVE                  MYSEC.TPU$SECTION and then creates
                                        that section file in your current,
                                        default directory. On VMS, file
                                        names are not case-sensitive.

     SAVE EXTENDED EVE newsec           Creates a section file named
                                        NEWSEC.TPU$SECTION in your current,
                                        default directory.

  Usage notes:

  o  If you set a default section file, SAVE EXTENDED EVE does not prompt
     you for a section file name---it automatically uses your default (as in
     the first example above).

  o  You use one section file at a time. A section file is cumulative,
     saving the current key definitions, menu definitions, global
     attributes, and compiled procedures---and any already saved in the
     section file you are using. See help on Section Files.

  o  You can also create a section file by using SAVE ATTRIBUTES or SAVE
     SYSTEM ATTRIBUTES, or when you save attributes as part of exiting or
     quitting---see help on Attributes.

  o  In using a section file when you invoke EVE, you must specify the
     device (disk) and directory. Otherwise, TPU assumes the section file is
     in SYS$SHARE. For more information, see DCL help on EDIT/TPU/SECTION or
     set the EVE Reference Manual.

  o  On ULTRIX, existing section files are copied to a backup file before
     being overwritten. This is the default behavior, but you can disable it
     or customize the way EVE creates the backup file spec by using the SET
     NOFILE BACKUP or SET BACKUP CONTROL STRING commands. For more
     information, see help on those commands.
