SET(SYSTEM)
Makes a buffer a system buffer. This is useful when creating your own
editor in which you want to distinguish system buffers, such as a paste
buffer, from those that users can edit. DECTPU does not handle system
buffers differently from user buffers; DECTPU merely keeps track of which
buffers have been designated as system buffers. It is the application
layered onto DECTPU that gives system buffers their special
characteristics.
Once a buffer is made a system buffer, it cannot be reset to being a user
buffer.
Syntax
SET (SYSTEM, buffer)
Example
The following statements create a paste buffer and make it a system
buffer:
paste_buffer := CREATE_BUFFER ("paste");
SET (SYSTEM, paste_buffer);
