Strange how this specific submodule didn't work, but the rest did. After
deleting the dtksh directory and removing any references to dtksh from
three other files, I compiled CDE without issue. CDE knows my shell is set
to /bin/bash, no errors so far. So I'm still not sure what why need dtksh
if it's able to boot into CDE without error if I can compile without dtksh.
Is there something specific that CDE does that it can't know about the
other shells like the other ksh I have already installed, bash, dash, tcsh,
or any other installed shell?
