Yes, the ksh from the STORE area at osu-cis will fix your problem IF you
use EMACS mode (either emacs or gmacs).
Given that I've been using EMACS for over 14 years (originally on my DEC-20s),
that's my preference, and the only real anomaly between emacs mode in ksh and
the emacs editor is the handling of ^T to transpose 2 characters; neither of
the two ksh emacs modes do it correctly (in all versions of ksh I've seen to
date).
