Can't get 'emacs' mode to work in Korn Shell

[Emile Deen]

Help,

	I've just been given an account on a Unix box running 
		ESIX System 5.3.2 Rev C
	
			{ Thats Sys V }

	We are using the Korn shell around here, but our Unix wiz
		is on vacation so I ask you for help.

	I am trying to get my command history to work, under Korn, using
		the emacs mode, but it does't work. ;-<

	I've set all of the variables to what the man pages say, and 
	  	if I type a control p, I am supposed to get the last 
		item in the command history. No go, I just get something
		like ^P not found.

	Actually, none of the emacs commands work, they seem to be stuck
		on the default vi commands, but for the moment the ^P
		is all that I am really interested in.


	What am I doing wrong?

		Info:

		EDITOR=emacs	HISTSIZE=600	FCEDIT=emacs
				
		set -o :
		
			emacs on
			ignoreeof on
			interactive on
			monitor on

				all others off



	Its really a pain as I've grown used to using the command history
			at my school running BSD and Csh.

					Tanx for you help,
