How can I find it if it's using a builtin?
All AST tools (AST="Advanched Software Technology", which is more or less a superset of the upstream package which contains ksh93) support the "--man" option, e.g. you can test for the builtin version of "tty" via $ tty --man # ; the official ksh93 way to test for it is $ builtin | fgrep tty # to check whether the "tty" builtin is enabled by default and whether it's bound to a path... > It's not in the new /etc/ksh.kshrc.

I tried to look into that problem... the trouble is that I can't reproduce it on my side... ;-( ---- Bye, Roland -- __ . . __ (o.\ \/ /.o) roland.mainz at nrubsig.org \__\/\/__/ MPEG specialist, C&&JAVA&&Sun&&Unix programmer /O /==\ O\ TEL +49 641 7950090 (;O/ \/ \O;)
