Canceling Commands

  If an EVE command prompts you for more information, such as a file name,
  buffer name, search string, or other parameter, you can cancel the
  operation by simply pressing RETURN or DO without typing a response.

  o  For example, the INCLUDE FILE command prompts you for the name of the
     file you want to include. To cancel the operation, simply press RETURN
     at the prompt without typing anything.

  o  Similarly, if you start a learn sequence and then decide you do NOT
     want it remembered, follow these steps to cancel the definition
     (sequence not remembered):

        1.  Press CTRL/R to end the learn sequence.

        2.  When EVE prompts you to press the key you want to define,
            press the RETURN key or CTRL/M, which cannot be redefined.

     Likewise, you can press the RETURN key or CTRL/M to cancel DEFINE KEY,
     SET GOLD KEY, or UNDEFINE KEY.

  o  If you recall a command (such as by pressing CTRL/B) and do NOT want to
     execute it, erase the command line (for example, by pressing CTRL/U) or
     press a key defined as RESET (such as GOLD-SELECT).

  o  If you choose a command from a pull-down or pop-up menu, any prompts
     usually appear in a dialog box. To cancel the operation, click M1 on
     CANCEL in the dialog box.

  o  CTRL/C usually halts or cancels an operation, such as a repeat or
     global replace. However, if you are using keystroke journaling (instead
     of buffer-change journaling), CTRL/C is not recorded in the keystroke
     journal file. After using CTRL/C, you should immediately exit, to save
     your edits. Otherwise, if the system fails, you may not be able to
     recover your work. This restriction does not apply with buffer-change
     journaling.
