If you want a shell that whistles like bash, and quacks like bash, and is
shiny like bash, then use bash. No one is forcing you to use a certain
shell. Please stop lamenting that something that is not bash is not bash.
It seems clear that the precise functionality you are after isn't
implemented in OpenBSD's ksh. So note it down as a "technical limitation" if
you want and move on with life.
Guys, I wasn't whining or complaining. I wasn't even requesting a
feature. I just asked if there was a way to do it. There isn't, so I
"move on with life", like you said.
I guess you've had so many whiners in the past, that you're
oversensitive to them. :)
