A minor aside regarding some stupid ksh tricks...
My fingers have gotten used to hitting TAB in bash for completing file names. I'd avoided pdksh only for this one reason. (Sad, I know.)
I recently dug through the man-page for pdksh and discovered that adding these following lines:
case "$KSH_VERSION" in
*"PD KSH"*)
bind '^I=complete'
bind '^I^I=complete-list'
;;
esac
to my .kshrc (which is linked to .bashrc for me) and things work just fine. It's not *exactly* the same output, but it's pretty much the same behavior and so my fingers don't have to be retrained. I've switched over to pdksh now.
I also have some ksh functions to mimic the csh/bash pushd/popd commands, so if anyone's interested in these, please let me know and I'll email my .kshrc or put it up for ftp.
As an added bonus you also get a function for setting the title bar in several terminal emulators (xterm, hpterm, and Mac NCSA Telnet) to the current directory stack.
