And you really do mean page-up right? Not arrow-up?
I just tried and you're right. The ksh manpage says:
VISUAL If set, this parameter controls the command-line editing mode
for interactive shells. If the last component of the path
specified in this parameter contains the string ``vi'',
``emacs'', or ``gmacs'', the vi, emacs, or gmacs (Gosling
emacs) editing mode is enabled, respectively. See also the
EDITOR parameter, above.
