SET

Set various shell parameters.

SYNOPSIS

set [ ( echo | noexecute | prompt string ) ]

DESCRIPTION

This command allows the user to turn on several useful shell parameters. The command unset allows the same parameters to be turned off.

echo
The echo parameter causes the command buffer to be echoed to the standard output device. This is not necessary when commands are being entered interactively but useful when reading commands from a file.

noexecute
The noexecute flag will put all entered commands into check only mode. If this flag is on, commands will only check for the legality of their arguments and not act upon them.

prompt
The prompt parameter takes the remainder of the line and uses it as the prompt for the rest of the session. The default prompt is SUPREM4>.

BUGS

The parameters all have to be typed in full. The parser does not understand shortened versions.
