Found following problems when running as bash: - does not support `>&' - does not support `type -P' - does not `export -n' - has no `bind' command - does not support some `shopt' options - PS1 magics does not work well. E.g.: \h, \V, \[ - In the interactive shell, $? is always 0 even if the latest command fails. - The `alias' (with not arguments) output not compatible with bash. -clark > One of the major new additions, is programmable tab completion with the > editor which is enabled in both bash mode and ksh mode.
