Ksh doesn't come with ISC UNIX 2.2.  You have to buy it either from
Aspen Technologies for ~150 US or so, or else pay thru the nose to
get it from the AT&T Toolchest.  Alternatively, you can go and get
a PD shell like tcsh, bash or ash.  I *really* like tcsh, and recommend
it highly.  The job control works quite well as does the command line
editing and all the other zillion features.
