Korn has no 'e' at the end.  Not only can Paul not spell, I don't think
he can read.  What does this have to do with Unix Internals? This question
has been answered MANY times in comp.unix.questions and comp.unix.shell.
One more time, here is the answer:

Use a shell function (this will work with korn shell as well as later borne
shells):

	jove()
	{
		/usr/bin/jove ${1+"$@"}
		echo "ESCAPE_CODES_FOR_KEYPAD_ON"
	}
