ksh is the default shell, but the man page for 'jobs' refers to csh

The two appear to differ in how they handle background / foreground
jobs.  In csh, '%1' works the same way 'fg %1' does, but in ksh, only
'fg %1' works:

        # echo $0
        -ksh
        # jobs
        [3] + Suspended            vi /etc/dnsmasq.conf
        [1] - Suspended            vi ssh-log.sh
        [2]   Running              tcpdump -i ....
        # %2
        ksh: %2: not found
        # %1
        ksh: %1: not found
        # uname -a
        OpenBSD foo 4.2 GENERIC#375 i386


It's not a major obstacle but one of convenience.  Perhaps the man page
can be updated to reflect ksh instead.  Or is there a reason for using
csh as the example in the man page for 'jobs' ?
