I guess this problem goes beyond cd? I was thinking falsely there.
Duh. I need coffee or maybe some Turkish tea. Something Turkish,
anyway.

Maybe clicking a "mouse" on an "icon" would be cooler still!!

OK, I've found what I think are the proper places where the numbers
would be added (in file exec.c, routines "pr_list"), and I could
write a hack to do it, it would be easy. (One liner maybe, change
a certain format statement).
So I'm betting that Debian did something like that. I can't see
where numbers would be formatted and put out in the source with
OpenBSD 4.0.
Maybe once the earth goes through its day/night cycle completely,
somebody else will recognize what to do.
The question I have, is why, other than old familiarity, do you
want those numbers and a single column list? Can you live without?
A second question... if you have a Linux emulation installed, can
you copy over a Debian ksh executable and run it on OpenBSD and see
what it does?
