But this now ONLY fails on hosts with Version M 1993-12-28
It works on the hosts with Version AJM 93t+ 2010-06-21.
Try the following:
Note that I reversed some of the logic so I could use "==" instead of "!=". I use set -o vi, but I have heard of some cases where set -o emacs sometimes invokes the command history mechanism when != is used. If that is part of your problem (i.e. the 1002 in red above), this change should avoid it. I used printf instead of echo -n because it is more portable. (Using echo -n abc in ksh on a Solaris system (and some other UNIX branded systems) should print -n abc followed by a newline rather than abc without a newline that you would get with ksh on some other systems.

My client`s system is an AIX 4.2 and using the Kron shell. I was just wondering if it is possible to have the prompt autocompletion enabled on it without changing shell version.
By autocompletion, I mean to automatically complete the filenames or directories we type in using the Tab key. (2 Replies)

pwd
PWD(1) BSD General Commands Manual PWD(1)NAME
pwd -- return working directory name
SYNOPSIS
pwd [-LP]
DESCRIPTION
The pwd utility writes the absolute pathname of the current working directory to the standard output.
Some shells may provide a builtin pwd command which is similar or identical to this utility. Consult the builtin(1) manual page.
The options are as follows:
-L Display the logical current working directory.
-P Display the physical current working directory (all symbolic links resolved).
If no options are specified, the -P option is assumed.
ENVIRONMENT
Environment variables used by pwd:
PWD Logical current working directory.
DIAGNOSTICS
The pwd utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.
STANDARDS
The pwd utility conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'').
SEE ALSO builtin(1), cd(1), csh(1), sh(1), getcwd(3)BUGS
In csh(1) the command dirs is always faster because it is built into that shell. However, it can give a different answer in the rare case
that the current directory or a containing directory was moved after the shell descended into it.
The -L option does not work unless the PWD environment variable is exported by the shell.
