For basic usage like this you can find a bump of tutorials if you Google on "ksh scripting".

What's the point of the "without using an editor"? I fail to see what that is supposed to teach you, or how to solve it.

As suggested previously by Franklin52 you need to look for a turorial on scripting, there are a number of them listed in the "Answers to frequently asked questions" section.

In my estimation this thread constitues coursework. Thread closed.
