ROFL! How many years ago that this has been an issue on any editor I use.
Ahh the last I remember is EPM on OS/2 but with a 2499 character limit.

Strange how I almost never need to edit a file with more than 255
characters per line! Text files tend to max out at 132 characters since
that's the most you can print per line on most printers. I suppose
there are exceptions but I would not need to remove my shoes to count
the number of such files I needed to edit.

Issues with the terminal driver might make editing such a file difficult
even in cases where the editor supports it.

EVE lets you SHIFT RIGHT and SHIFT LEFT to see extra-long lines.

I have these definitions in my EVEINI.EVE:

DEFINE KEY=GOLD/RIGHT SHIFT LEFT 8
DEFINE KEY=GOLD/LEFT SHIFT RIGHT 8

Is there a quick/easy help or something that shows all the available commands
that would be acceptable in an EVEINI.EVE file?

...or must one wade through the EVE/TPU doc.'s to find that?

HELP from within eve should give you everything you need. If use eve
to write your eve$init file, then they're all right there grouped by
function. Press DO and enter HELP, or in /edt mode KP1 KP2 HELP. I
only use the TPU manual If I'm writing a complex procedure; since I
don't do that often enough for it to be rote.

Here's my eve$init.eve:

SET KEYPAD EDT
SET SCROLL MARGINS 20% 20%
SET CURSOR BOUND
SET NOWRAP
DEFINE KEY=GOLD-KP8 FILL RANGE
DEFINE KEY=GOLD-Q QUIT
DEFINE KEY=GOLD-E EXIT
DEFINE KEY=GOLD-B BUFFER
DEFINE KEY=GOLD-C PREVIOUS BUFFER
DEFINE KEY=GOLD-R SHIFT RIGHT 50
DEFINE KEY=GOLD-L SHIFT LEFT 50
DEFINE KEY=GOLD-X INCLUDE
DEFINE KEY=GOLD-? SHOW BUFFERS
DEFINE KEY=CTRL/RIGHT SHIFT RIGHT 8
DEFINE KEY=CTRL/LEFT SHIFT LEFT 8

The bound cursor and scroll margins give a more edt-like feel.
