SHIFT LEFT Shifts the current window to the left by the number of columns you specify. This does not shift text in the buffer, but only the horizontal position of the window relative to the buffer, so you can view the undisplayed portion of very wide text, such as lines 100 characters long, without having to widen the EVE screen. Example: The following commands shift the window 30 column to the right (so that column 31 of your text is in the leftmost column of the window), and then shift the window 30 columns to the left, restoring the original alignment (column 1 of your text in the leftmost column of the window): Command: SHIFT RIGHT 30 . . Command: SHIFT LEFT 30 Usage notes: o With each SHIFT command, EVE tells you the total number of columns the window is shifted. To find out the current shift (if any), use SHOW. o You cannot use SHIFT LEFT unless you used SHIFT RIGHT, and you cannot shift the window left beyond column 1. o On DECwindows, you can shift the window to the left by clicking M1 to the left of the thumb in the horizontal scroll bar---see help on Scroll Bars.
