I don't find that to be true with pdksh - PD KSH v5.2.14 99/07/13.2

Subject: RE: Unix question: how to display SID and path in prompt
Also be aware that when using backticks in your PS1 variable, you are
influencing $? as a result.
What happens, is that when you run a command (i.e. "rm
<some_file_that_doesnt_exist>") and then say "echo $?", you are getting
the
return code ($?) of your PS1 execution (which is likely to always be 0) -
NOT the $? of the "rm" command.
