Care to explain? For PS1, posix describes: "PS1 Each time an interactive shell is ready to read a command, the value of this variable shall be subjected to parameter expansion and written to standard error." Also, remember we are doing ksh, not a strict posix shell. You might be right that in strict posix mode we should do things differently, but not in the regular ksh mode, AFAIKS. -Otto      |
