Which is it, do you have the source or not?

What version of ksh are you using?  Use the commands:

	$ set -o emacs	# if you're not in emacs mode
	$ ^V	# that's control-V
	$ set -o vi	# if you want to go to vi mode

and you should get something like:

	Version 11/16/88d

Please be more specific.

It's not supposed to be auto-sourced; however the ENV file is sourced.

Works for me.

11/16/88f ksh should be available late January '91; I'll post a note when
it's available.
