$ apt-cache policy pdksh
pdksh:

It works fine here. Two things:
Are you *sure* that the control characters have been entered correctly?
It is not '^' followed by '['. It must be the single charactor '^['.
Is your profile being sourced correctly? I have to do this (and only
this) in ~/.profile:
ENV=$HOME/.kshrc; export ENV
and then add whatever to ~/.kshrc. Try a blank .kshrc except for
setting PS1 (to make sure there are no syntax errors, etc). I use the
same .profile and .kshrc file on Debian Sarge, Ubuntu Dapper, OpenBSD
and FreeBSD with no problems.
