'''EVE''', the '''Extensible Versatile Editor''', or '''TPU''', is an editor that can be used to edit text files in OpenVMS. Notable features include fullscreen mode, box editing, wildcard search, spawning subprocesses to execute DCL commands, recovery of lost changes, menus, macros, working with multiple buffers and windows.

=Command Line=
To use the command line, press Shift+F6.

=Initialization File=
An initialization file contains a list of EVE commands to set editing attributes, define keys, or execute a series of related commands that are not saved in a section file or command file. Each command in the initialization file must be on a separate line, with no continuations. If a command in the initialization file requires more information, such as a keyword or other parameter, EVE prompts for
the additional information before continuing to execute the initialization file; otherwise, the individual command lines do not appear in the command window.

An initialization file can be executed by preceding it with an at sign (@).

=Journal File=
By default, EVE maintains a journal file that can be used to recover changes to files in case of abnormal termination. Journal files are named filename.TPU$JOURNAL where filename is the name of the file being edited, and placed in the directory of the file.

=Section File=
Section files can be used to save key definitions and macros. They have the extension of .TPU$SECTION.
