Hmm,  looks like a real RTFM type of question.  Let's see.  I think
we'll start at the permuted index...  Lets look up the word "swap"...  Hey,
look at that - there's a swap(1M) command.  Lets see what it says...

.... -a Add the specified swap area....
.... -d Delete the specified swap area...
.... -l List the status of all swap areas....

Looks like that is what you need.

I know it sounds like I am flaming, but I'm not.  I just think you should
at least take a quick look in the permuted index before posting such a
question to the net.  I could understand you having a problem if it 
was listed under something like:

	diskmem(1M) - disk overflow memory allocator

which looks like it has nothing to do with swap space (of course, it doesn't
since it isn't a real command).
