Here's a snippit from my ~/.kshrc, which kinda-sorta approximates bash's default behavior. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any way to bind TAB for filename completion in ksh88. :-( Apparently ksh93 can handle this, but it isn't available on any of the servers I support. set

Concerning pdksh: Unless it has been fixed (and I don't think it has), it is too buggy to be used for scripting. If you are going to download and install ksh, get The Real Thing. If you have way too much time on your hands and want a monster shell -- the biggest of them all, get zsh; it's

Yeah, using double-ESC works fine for filename completion. I was just pointing out that there's no way to map it to TAB (as far as I know), like bash uses. -Original Message- Yong Huang Sent: Tuesday, November 11, 2003 12:34 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L How about just

I think you should make an issue, because Korn Shell (/bin/ksh) is de-facto standard and the vendor should deliver either both shells (Korn and C) or only Korn. Allegedly, bash can assume both personalities, but if you need to modify the script, you need it to have it in Korn Shell language. Of
