VAXTPU SET(NO_WRITE) — VMS 5.2

 SET(NO_WRITE)

 Specifies that, on exiting, no output file is to be created from the
 contents of the buffer (even if it has been modified).  For example, you
 may create paste buffers or "scratchpad" buffers that you do not want
 written out when you exit.

 Syntax

    SET (NO_WRITE, buffer, [{OFF | ON}]

 Parameters

    buffer     The buffer you want to set to no-write.

    OFF        Sets a buffer from no-write to the default state.  When the
               editor exits, the buffer will be written to disk if it has
               been modified.

    ON         Sets a buffer to no-write.  When the editor exits, the
               buffer will NOT be written to disk.

 Examples

 1.  SET (NO_WRITE, paste_buffer);

     Sets the paste buffer to no-write.  When you exit, VAXTPU does not try
     to write out this buffer to a file, even if the buffer has been
     modified.  During a session, you can write out the buffer by using
     WRITE_FILE.

 2.  SET (NO_WRITE, my_buffer, OFF);

     Changes the buffer MY_BUFFER from no-write.  On exiting, VAXTPU writes
     out this buffer using the output file specification associated with
     the buffer.  If there is no output file specification for the buffer,
     VAXTPU prompts you for one.
