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 -o emacs
	alias __A=`echo "\020"`     # up arrow = ^p = back a command
	alias __B=`echo "\016"`     # down arrow = ^n = down a command
	alias __C=`echo "\006"`     # right arrow = ^f = forward a character
	alias __D=`echo "\002"`     # left arrow = ^b = back a character
	alias __H=`echo "\001"`     # home = ^a = start of line
	alias __Y=`echo "\005"`     # end = ^e = end of line

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
