Re: "OT" .profile for korn shell

    Something odd that I noticed. As of this posting, people have voted the parent node down to -9. Which makes sense because the question isn't Perl, and it seems to be the second time that this person a Korn shell question here. But the helpful answer has a positive rep.

    Which is silly because the AM doesn't know or care that the rep went to -9, all that the AM cares about is the useful answer. The answerer also doesn't care what the AM's post goes to, but might care about his own post.

    So anyone who wants to discourage the AM is probably voting on the wrong post.

      I think you're right. :-)
      I don't want to encourage this behaviour, I have written this in the first part of my answer. I think it's wrong. The rep of the node was 0 when I reply to. Anyway, I have learned from your downvote...

    This is not a Perl question!! :-)
    Anyway: set -o emacs is an interactive command. You overwrite your default in an opened shell.
    In Bash shell, you write your definitive choice in /etc/inputrc, with the following line:

    set editing-mode emacs

    Try it in Korn..
      Thanks.
