Hello Managers!

This may be a dumb question, we'll see, but I recently did an upgrade
from 4.0E to 5.1. After much trouble, I had to do a fresh install
of 5.1 because lots of things were missing/broken after the upgrade
from 4.0E (to 4.0F to 5.0 to 5.0A to 5.1). I have five DECterm windows
I open on workspace 1. I have tried everything I can think of (which
obviously is not enough!) to get the up and down arrow keys to do
command recall (set -o emacs) when the machine reboots. This _did_
work in 4.0E, although I don't remember which in initialization I
had it in, .profile, .login, .kshrc or the .dt versions. I have tried
all of them (and more) and I can't get the DECterm windows to startup
with set -o emacs already executed. I have to manually type set -o emacs
on each window. I am logging in as root and have a default ksh. Any
ideas?
