Best answer!!!
It was right under my nose the whole time! The new version of the Kornshell (ksh93) is
/usr/dt/bin/dtksh for Solaris 2.x.
Thanks to David Perel for pointing this out!
It does not seem to be an interactive shell like sh,csh.ksh, as none of my environment files loaded
when I changed shells in /etc/passwd. But it does work great for programming scripts, etc...

Good suggestion.

I did not go here yet but I will check it out.

>Did you try /usr/bin/ksh?
That is the version I was using. It is the old ksh dated 11/16/88. To see what version you are
using, do a 'whatis /bin/ksh'
