EON -- Activate the Shell's -E flag.
usage:  EON


FORMAT

  EON


  EON  enables  variable  evaluation  regardless  of  the  context  in which the
  variables appear.  Normally, variables  are  evaluated  only  inside  variable
  expression   delimeters,  ((expression));  otherwise,  the  Shell  treats  the
  ^var_name expressions as strings and they are not evaluated.

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

  If EON is turned on in a Shell script, it remains on until that  Shell  script
  exits,  or until over-ridden by an EOFF 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.

  EON requires no arguments or options.
