+<p>Enable and disable builtin shell commands.</p>
+<pre>Syntax
+ enable [-n] [-p] [-f <var>filename</var>] [-ads] [<var>name</var> ...]
+
+Options
+ -a list each builtin with an indication of whether or not
+ it is enabled.
+
+ <samp>-d</samp> Delete a builtin loaded with <samp>`-f'</samp>.
+
+ -f load the new builtin command <i>name</i> from shared object <var>filename</var>,
+ on systems that support dynamic loading.
+
+ -n Disable the <i>name</i>s listed, otherwise names are enabled.
+
+ -p Print a list of shell builtins, default if no <var>name</var> arguments appear
+ With no other arguments, the list consists of all enabled shell builtins.
+
+ -s Restrict to enable only POSIX special builtins</pre>
+<p> Disabling a builtin allows a disk command which has the same
+ name as a shell builtin to be executed without specifying a full pathname, even
+ though the shell normally searches for builtins before disk commands. <br>
+ <br>
+ For example, to use the <code>test</code> binary found via <code>$PATH</code>
+ instead of the shell builtin version, type <samp>`enable -n test'</samp>. <br>
+ <br>
+ If there are no options, a list of the shell builtins is displayed. <br>
+ <br>
+ If `-s' is used with `-f', the new builtin becomes a special builtin. <br>
+ <br>
+ The return status is zero unless a <i>name</i> is not a shell builtin or there
+ is an error loading a new builtin from a shared object. <br>
+ <br>
+ <i>You see things; and you say 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and
+ I say 'why not?' - George
+ Bernard Shaw </i> </p>
