Forgive my ignorance, but what exactly is the Korn shell? From the messages I've seen, I know that is more sh-like than csh, that it has its own history stuff, that it has emacs-like and vi-like line-editing modes, and that it may be faster than csh. The thing is, I use tcsh, and I have all that (emacs-like) line-editing stuff, plus ^N and ^P to walk up and down the history visibly, plus completion of a sort (not as good as tops20), and I can customise the keys to some extent. Can someone give me an overview of ksh and compare it to tcsh or the "new" (completing) csh?
