8.0;eoff, revision 8.0, 84/04/20
EOFF -- Deactivate the Shell's -E flag.
usage:  EOFF


FORMAT

  EOFF


  EOFF disables global variable evaluation.  Variables are evaluated only inside
  variable  expression  delimeters,  ((expression)); otherwise, the Shell treats
  the ^var_name expressions as strings and they are not evaluated.    To  enable
  variable  evaluation  regardless of the context in which the variable appears,
  specify EON.

  By default, EOFF is in effect when a Shell is invoked.

  If EOFF is specified in a Shell script, it remains in effect until that  Shell
  script  exits, or until over-ridden by an EON in a nested Shell script. When a
  Shell script exits, the state of variable evaluation is returned to the  state
  in effect just before the script was invoked.

  EOFF requires no arguments or options.
