You don't.

Apparently, ksh is big enough that it needs large model to fit everything
in; the only problem is that ksh apparently does the usual nasty things
that make it not work in large model. Microport did about the only thing
they could short of a total rewrite, or buying a working version from
Mortice Kern Systems: they made two versions, one with vi mode only, and
one with emacs mode only. If you have the vi-mode one, you're stuck.
