shell scripts - Second Try

I'm not sure how to handle scripts because $"string" is not part of
POSIX, but for ksh builtin commands it is IMO *required* that they
behave like external commands and recognize if NLSPATH is changed
like:

builtin cat
NLSPATH=/path/path2/wc1.cat:$NLSPATH cat thisfileisnothere
NLSPATH=/path/path2/wc2.cat:$NLSPATH cat thisfileisnothere

cat called in the 2nd line should use /path/path2/wc1.cat as message
catalog and cat in the 3rd line should use /path/path2/wc2.cat as
message catalog, assuming the ksh builtins should conform to POSIX.

ksh93 handles $"..." when compiling the script similar to the way
that aliases are handled.
