Not really sure what you're asking, but this should help man ksh.

Well, you do not mention OS name or shell name & they might make a difference.
On a couple of RH Linux boxes I just "tested", it appears that $PWD is "maintained" by the "cd" command.
For me it always contains my present working directory (pwd).
