Which answer begs for another question:  What are those of us who run an SVR2
(or SVR3) without the Korn shell available AND WITHOUT A SOURCE LICENSE
supposed to do for a history mechanism, then?

Last time I asked something like this I was told that only cretinous people
or businesses didn't buy source licenses.  Kindly consider that not everyone
has $50000 to blow on a source license, especially for a $5000 computer.
