  That can cause trouble with many systems. I have a Korn shell login
which lets me do stuff, but the default for root is sh.

  I strongly suggest not doing that. There are just enough thing which
aren't quite the same to bite you. Change the default for users, have a
ksh or csh superuser login, but don't cause yourself trouble.

  This can be done by hand, but I don't have my notes on it here.
Offhand why do you want to run the Xenix DS (other than you paid an arm
and a leg for it).
