I've recently installed the MKS toolkit on my laptop computer, on top
of MSDOS 3.3, and while it's really a great package, I find one thing 
incredibly annoying about the Korn shell that they include; it insists 
on leaving a file "sh_histo" (sh_history, presumably) in just about
every directory you go into.

I've tried setting history=0 but it STILL leaves the damn thing!  The
documentation doesn't mention the file at all, as far as I can see.  If
someone can suggest a way to teach Ksh not to leave the file, or to
name it ".hst" or some other name I don't have to SEE, that'd be great!

			Thanks!!
