EVE$HELP.HLB  —  SET_SCROLL_ON
  SET SCROLL ON    (default)

  Enables scrolling of text as new text is brought into the window.

  Usage notes:

  o  The opposite setting (SET SCROLL OFF) repaints the window each time a
     scroll would otherwise occur.

  o  With scrolling enabled, you cause new text to scroll into the window
     when you:

        1.  Move to a position that is off screen by less than
            (approximately) one window's length. You move to that position
            by using navigation commands (FIND, MOVE BY PAGE, PREVIOUS
            SCREEN, and so on), by positioning with the mouse, or by using
            vertical scroll bars in DECwindows EVE.
        2.  Move above the top scroll margin or below the bottom scroll
            margin in a window using one of the above methods.
        3.  Erase, add, or format text that causes new text to be brought
            into the window.

  o  This setting does not affect moving to a position off screen by more
     than (approximately) one window's length. In this case, the entire
     window is repainted with the new text.

  o  This command lets EVE scroll the text using either SMOOTH or JUMP
     scrolling.

  o  The setting applies in all your buffers. To save your setting for
     future editing sessions, use SAVE ATTRIBUTES to create a section file
     or to create or update a command file (see help on Attributes).

  o  On DECwindows, you can toggle this setting as follows:

        1.  Choose Global Attributes from the Options menu.
        2.  Click M1 on the Set Scroll On button in the dialog box.
