awk and ksh are both interpreting $1. 
---------------------------------

Not possible.  One or the other will see "$1", but not both.  That's the
problem with using quotes instead of assigning things to awk variables -- It
makes reading the stuff confusing.

FWIW, here is what I do:

   ## See if there is anything to send
   COUNT=`awk '/^$/ {next}; END {print NR}' "$PAGE_FILE"`
   ## If so send it
   if [ $COUNT -gt 0 ]; then
      PAGER_PERSON=''
      cat "${ADMIN_DIR}/who_to_page" | while read LINE; do
         PAGER_PERSON="${PAGER_PERSON},${LINE}"
      done
      ## Optional cleanup lines for the intractably paranoid
      PAGER_PERSON=`echo "$PAGER_PERSON" | sed 's/[   ]*//g'`
      PAGER_PERSON=`echo "$PAGER_PERSON" | sed 's/^,*//g'`
      PAGER_PERSON=`echo "$PAGER_PERSON" | sed 's/,,*/,/g'`
      if [ -n "$PAGER_PERSON" ]; then
         mailx -s "IT IS ALL OVER THE WALLS" "$PAGER_PERSON" < "$PAGE_FILE"
      fi
   fi
