Although I am still not very good on this, here is what I lernt from
this list.  Try this:

eve_set_right_margin(72)

eve_split_window(eve$k_no_arg)

eve_buffer("MAIL HELP COMMANDS")

eve_include_file("FILENAME.HELP")

How did I find this?  Do `tpu eve$$parse("<eve_command>")' at the
Command: prompt.  You can get the answer even in your text at the
current cursor position with `tpu copy_text( eve$$parse("<eve_command>") )'
which is how I created this.

I know there are even simpler (faster) translations for some of your
commands but I don't know them right now.  I'm sure somebody else from
this list will tell you.
