Dominic,

I believe Jim is refering to the CommandShell bug in A/UX 2.0 that was only
apparent when you are in Console Emulator mode.  The problem was that you had
to hit ^Q after you used the ESC key to get into vi editing mode on the ksh(1)
command line.  

Yes the bug is fixed in A/UX 2.0.1.  The version of Korn Shell has also been 
updated to "Version 11/16/88d".  That should make ksh(1) hackers very happy.
