Status Line
The status line shows information about the buffer in the current EVE
window and lets you toggle some settings by clicking M1 on the indicators.
Indicators Meanings or usage
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Buffer: MAIN Name of the buffer in that window---usually
or the same as the file specified when you
Buffer: JABBER.TXT invoke EVE or when you use GET FILE, OPEN, or
OPEN SELECTED. To view your next buffer, if
any, click M1 on the buffer name.
Write or Read-only Whether exiting writes out the buffer if it has
been modified. To toggle the setting, click M1
on the indicator. See help on SET BUFFER.
Insert or Overstrike Mode for entering text. To toggle the mode,
click M1 on the indicator. See help on CHANGE
MODE.
Forward or Reverse Direction for searches and for some cursor-
movement commands and keys. To toggle the
direction, click M1 on the indicator. See help
on CHANGE DIRECTION.
Usage notes:
o Using status line indicators with the mouse works on DECwindows,
DECterm, or UIS.
o Each window you create in EVE has its own status line. For information
about using multiple windows in EVE, see help on Windows.
o If you reduce the width of the window, the indicators at the left of
the status line may be clipped because EVE tries to keep the buffer
name full size. (For example, the Forward or Reverse indicator may be
omitted.) EVE clips the name of the buffer only if the window is too
narrow for the entire name to fit.
