Hello Managers!

This list is the greatest! I received many different responses, a
few of them saying that they have set -o emacs in their /.profile
and it works fine. One suggestion to change the default shell in
/etc/passwd to /bin/ksh -o emacs looked promising, but didn't work.
Another suggestion to add export ENV=$HOME/.kshrc in your $HOME/
.profile and in $HOME/.kshrc set -o emacs didn't work either.
Actually NONE of the suggestions worked! I know I had this working
in 4.0E. So now I am wondering if my invocation of DECterm is
causing trouble. Tru64 doesn't come with a DECterm icon, so I add
the icon with Create Action and the command dxterm -sl. This always
worked before. Do .cshrc, .login and .profile need to be world
readable and executable?

-rwxr----- 1 root system 1322 Jun 5 12:50 .cshrc
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root system 3970 Jun 5 12:59 .dtprofile
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root system 28 Jun 6 08:17 .kshrc
-rwxr----- 1 root system 2001 Jun 5 13:00 .login
-rwxr----- 1 root system 1888 Jun 6 08:17 .profile

I have a default shell of ksh, Tru64 5.1 patch kit 2 on a PWS 433.

Any other ideas? Thanks to all who wrote....
