RE: for years I have been using korn shell

For Linux, I use bash. For Unix (HP/Sun) accounts, I use Korn, where bash typically isn't available. I like either, but am tending to like bash more for the non-vi command line editing that uses cursor keys (I've been told that this is "set -o emacs" in Korn, but it shore don't work like that on Korn-88).

For one 3rd party install, I use csh because that's what they require. And because of they way they have it setup, if I'm in Korn and execute their setup, it won't work. I have to change to csh first, then execute their setup. Just poorly written, IMHO.

My $.02,
Rich
