ENABLE Command
Function
If you are not a privileged user, this command has no effect.
However, if you are a privileged user (that is, you have the
privilege word set in ACTDAE.SYS) you can turn your privileges
off with the DISABLE command, and you can turn your privileges on
with the ENABLE command. Your privileges are enabled
automatically when you log in. Privileges allow you to use
privileged monitor calls such as POKE and SPY.
Format
ENABLE
Characteristics
Does not destroy your core image.
Leaves your terminal at monitor level.
Does not affect privileges associated with [1,2] or with being on
the operator's terminal (OPR:).
Example
Run FILDDT. Look at memory area. Examine address 41.
Privileges are required to examine this location.
.R FILDDT<RET>
FILE: /M<RET>
41/ JSR 3600
^C
Disable your privileges:
.DISABLE<RET>
Run FILDDT. Examine 41. Your privileges are disabled;
therefore, 0 is printed rather than the contents of 41.
.R FILDDT<RET>
FILE: /M<RET>
41/ 0
^C
Enable your privileges:
.ENABLE<RET>
Again, examine memory. The contents of 41 are displayed.
.R FILDDT<RET>
FILE: /M<RET>
41/ JSR 3600
^C
