thanks for the quick replies,
when i login to the network through my local terminal i see SunOS 5.9 generic feb 2000
when i run a man on ksh it says KSH(1)
Thats all i can see with regard to versions
There a few other things that dont work as the oreilly book suggest e.g. even though the IFS variable is defined as a comma (,) when i use the $* argument it still separates parameters with a space. I have a feeling i'm going to run into more variances like this ahead, any advice??
Cheers

times(1) User Commands times(1)
NAME
times - shell built-in function to report time usages of the current shell
SYNOPSIS
sh
times
ksh
times
DESCRIPTION
sh
Print the accumulated user and system times for processes run from the shell.
ksh
Print the accumulated user and system times for the shell and for processes run from the shell.
On this man page, ksh(1) commands that are preceded by one or two * (asterisks) are treated specially in the following ways:
1. Variable assignment lists preceding the command remain in effect when the command completes.
2. I/O redirections are processed after variable assignments.
3. Errors cause a script that contains them to abort.
4. Words, following a command preceded by ** that are in the format of a variable assignment, are expanded with the same rules as a vari-
able assignment. This means that tilde substitution is performed after the = sign and word splitting and file name generation are not
performed.
