>From the original e-mail: "Note that /etc/ksh.kshrc is only used in ksh93 initialization; it has no effect on /usr/bin/ksh nor on /usr/xpg4/bin/sh." It has no effect on /usr/dt/bin/dtksh either. For the record, dtksh is an early ksh93-based shell; not a ksh88-based shell. Note that April, Roland, and ksh93-integration-discuss at opensolaris.org are in the IAM file's Interest list so they all get copies of every message sent to this case even if they aren't on the To or Cc list. - Don
