/bin/more is not a shell script, nor is it likely encrypted. It's in a binary format. You can check the format of a file with the "file" command. For example, on one of my systems:
Code:
# file /bin/more
/bin/more: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped
# file /root/tmp.sh 
/root/tmp.sh: Bourne-Again shell script text

The /root/tmp.sh file is a shell script that I can view.

They are not encrypted. they are object files.

Can you please tell , what you exactly mean by encrypted shell command.
Do you mean that the shell script file is encryted ???

if the files in /bin are in binary. is it possible to read them in understable format.
what i want to do is, that i want to read the code in which shell commands are written i.e. when i write command then which code is called on by shell to execute the command.
