BON -- Activate the Shell's -B flag.
usage:  bon


FORMAT

  BON


  BON activates the Shell's -B (display output of background process) flag.  The
  flag can also be activated by using the -B option on the SH command  when  the
  Shell  is invoked.  The BOFF command deactivates the -B flag.  By default, the
  flag is off when a Shell is invoked.

  This flag causes the Shell to send the output of a background process (created
  with  the  "&" parsing operator) to the display.  The output of the background
  process is displayed in the transcript pad of the Shell where it was invoked.

  If BON is turned on in a Shell script, it remains on until that  Shell  script
  exits,  or until it is over-ridden by a BOFF command in a nested Shell script.
  When a Shell script exits, the state of execution tracing is returned  to  the
  state in effect just before the script was invoked.

  BON requires no arguments or options.
