Thank you for the reply. Sorry I haven't replied to this sooner but I've been out.
The link provided simply says to look at the man page for setting shell options for your particular shell. Well, that was the first thing I did when I was trying to figure this out. Unfortunately, the man pages for bash and ksh do not detail exactly which letter is associated with which shell option, and the letter is certainly not the first letter of the option itself. Some of them are obvious, like 'i' for interactive shell. Some I could figure out by turning off an option and looking to see what letter no longer existed when echoing $-. Unfortunately some of the options could not be determined this way. And I'm still trying to figure out what little 'c' means (in addition to some others).
