	At least on the SysVrel2 system on which I used to work:

		You can't.  

	I remember a discussion about a year and a half ago in which the
*shell* does this or that discussion came up.  dmr posted on how the 8th
edition shell could inherit functions.  Since then, maybe this ability
has been given to other variants of sh.
