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 cause 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.
