My stations is a Fedora/KDE system, I use Konsole in order to connect to an AIX server, using ssh. The script runs on the AIX server. You were talking of terminal issues, that's why I mentionned my workstation. And "read line" is in two words Smilie.

However, I'm a bit skeptical about a terminal issue since it works in ksh88, but not in ksh93. Looks like a specific bug or feature. IMHO, ksh93 is not as stable as ksh88, as I get something coredumps in ksh93 for things that work in ksh88.

Currenly my script works perfectly in ksh88 but I have experimental code that requires ksh93 (for keybinding), that's why I'd like to make it work with this latest version of ksh.
