EVE$HELP.HLB  —  PREVIOUS_BUFFER
  PREVIOUS BUFFER

  Puts your previous buffer into the current EVE window, if you have two or
  more buffers. EVE returns the cursor to your last position in that buffer.

  Example:

     In the following example, you first edit a file named JABBER.TXT, and
     then edit a file named WOCKY.TXT. Using PREVIOUS BUFFER returns to your
     last position in JABBER.TXT.

        Command: GET FILE jabber.txt
        Command: GET FILE wocky.txt
        Command: PREVIOUS BUFFER

  Usage notes:

  o  If you have only two buffers, PREVIOUS BUFFER and NEXT BUFFER are the
     same---switching between the buffers. If you have more than two
     buffers, the previous buffer is determined by the order in which you
     created the buffers. Conceptually, the list of buffers is circular, so
     that repeating PREVIOUS BUFFER cycles through your buffers.

  o  For a list of your buffers, use the SHOW BUFFERS command.

  o  PREVIOUS BUFFER or NEXT BUFFER does not re-create a deleted buffer and
     does not return you to an EVE system buffer.

  o  For information about using multiple windows in EVE to view and edit
     different buffers, see help on Windows.
