Hi Glenn, One reason for not changing .profile in this case is that doing so could change the behavior of /usr/bin/ksh and /usr/xpg4/bin/sh as well as providing a default editing mode for /usr/bin/ksh93. Setting a default (when an editing mode has not otherwise been established) in /etc/ksh.kshrc only affects /usr/bin/ksh93 users. - Don
