Many of my pages rely on the viewers cookies being enabled. Is there a way
to instruct their browser to enable cookies? Fred
 
Not if their browser settings or their Security software blocks them
- it is their PC

No....this is (or it should be if it isn't) a user-initiated thing.

It wouldn't be very good for a browser's "security" if a web site's code
could overwrite a setting the user has in place i.e. cookies off and turn
them on.

(That seems to be what you're asking, i.e.: "is there a way to instruct the
user's browser to enable cookies?")

The only way is to notify the user the site uses cookies; but it is
ultimately the user's decision to enable them.
 
You can check if cookies are possible, if not generate a warning.
