A couple of minor points:
  • This isn't a Perl related question so you should have an 'OT' (off topic) in the subject line.
  • Please have a look at Writeup Formatting Tips for info on formatting your post so it is more readable.

    • Firstly, try putting 'set -o emacs' in ~/.kshrc, it may make a difference
    Secondly, you can set the default editor by 'export EDITOR=/path/to/favorite/editor'.
    Lastly, why ksh? ksh under Linux is the pdksh (public domain ksh) and does not contain the entire feature set of 'standard' ksh. Does bash or sh not meet your needs?

    Also remember that if you update your dot files (.kshrc, .profile, etc) you'll need to source the modified files (. ./.kshrc, . ./.profile) or logout and login again.

    Title:
    Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
    and:  <code> code here </code>
    to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
