DISABLE command

The DISABLE command disables any special capabilities, such  as  those
of WHEEL or OPERATOR, that you have enabled.


Format

     $DISABLE (CAPABILITIES)
     @


Characteristics

     Resumption of Standard Prompt

          The DISABLE command causes the system to resume the standard
          at sign  prompt  (@) in place of the dollar sign prompt ($),
          which indicated enabled capabilities.


Warning

     Disabling Promptly

          Be sure to disable your capabilities as  soon  as  you  have
          finished using them, so that you or a program you run cannot
          accidentally damage the system.
