VAXTPU LEARN_END — VMS 5.2

 LEARN_BEGIN and LEARN_END

 These built-ins save all keystrokes typed between LEARN_BEGIN and
 LEARN_END.  LEARN_BEGIN starts saving all keystrokes that you type, until
 LEARN_END is used.  LEARN_END stops the "learn mode" and returns a
 sequence comprising all the keystrokes you entered.

 Syntax

    LEARN_BEGIN ({EXACT | NOEXACT})
              .
              .
          [your keystrokes]
              .
              .
    learn := LEARN_END;

 Parameters

    EXACT      Specifies that input entered for each READ_CHAR, READ_KEY,
               or READ_LINE is read as the input for these built-ins when
               the learn sequence is replayed.

    NOEXACT    Specifies that VAXTPU should prompt for new input each time
               a READ_CHAR, READ_KEY, or READ_LINE is replayed within the
               learn sequence.
