You can define the following logical names for DECTPU and EVE startup files and other features instead of having to use command-line qualifiers: Logical names Definitions and usage --------------------------------------------------------------------- EVE$INIT EVE initialization file, typically to set margins, tab stops, and other attributes, or to define keys. See help on /INITIALIZATION. EVE$KEYPAD EVE keypad. This logical lets you choose between the various keypads. Valid equivalence names are EDT, EVE, NUMERIC, VT100, and WPS. If the logical name is not defined, the keypad defaults to EVE which gives the VT100 keypad on VT100 terminals or the NUMERIC keypad on VT200 and later terminals. This logical name overrides any keypad setting saved in a section file. Users can override the effect of this logical name by setting the keypad in their initialization file or command file. This logical name has no equivalent qualifier. If you extend EVE with your own keypad, you can also define the logical name to be the name of your keypad. For example, assume you have created a keypad named SIMPLE, and have a procedure named EVE_SET_KEYPAD_SIMPLE that sets the keypad. If you define the logical name to be SIMPLE, EVE will invoke your keypad during startup. TPU$CHARACTER_SET Character set to use to display characters having the 8th bit set. This affects how DECTPU converts text to lowercase or uppercase, and how it removes diacritical marks from text. See help on /CHARACTER_SET. TPU$COMMAND DECTPU command file to extend EVE, set up a special text-processing environment for batch editing, or create your own application. See help on /COMMAND. TPU$DEBUG DECTPU debug file to be compiled and executed when you use /DEBUG. Defining TPU$DEBUG does not automatically run the debug file when you invoke DECTPU. TPU$DISPLAY_MANAGER Screen display or interface. See help on /DISPLAY or /INTERFACE. TPU$JOURNAL Directory for buffer-change journal files. Does not apply to keystroke journal files. Default is SYS$SCRATCH. See help on /JOURNAL. TPU$SECTION Section file---either a customized version of EVE or an application you created. Default is EVE$SECTION.TPU$SECTION, the standard EVE section file. See help on /SECTION. TPU$WORK Work file which DECTPU uses to swap memory for editing very large files. See help on /WORK. Defining TPU$COMMAND or EVE$INIT makes startup faster than having the editor search for the respective default file. For example, if there is an EVE initialization file you want to use for all or most editing sessions, you should define EVE$INIT to specify that file, rather than have EVE search for the EVE$INIT.EVE file. You can put the definitions in your LOGIN.COM file. To override a definition, use the relevant command-line qualifier. For example, if you defined TPU$COMMAND but want to use a different command file for a particular editing session, use /COMMAND= and specify the command file; or if you do not want a command file used for a particular editing session, use /NOCOMMAND.
