As long as we're talking about ksh, is there any way to do job
control without typing fg (and bg)? In csh

%2

brings the second stopped job into the foreground; as I understand it,
in ksh I have to do

fg %2

A minor nit, but when you have 7 or 8 years invested in one shell,
the change-over has to be very smooth, or it won't be made.
