That just means they didn't tell you anything about what system you're actually using. There's no OS called "POSIX". POSIX is a paper standard which many wildly differing systems adhere to, to a greater or lesser degree.

Try uname

uname returns HP-UX

what do you think of that?

I was told we use the Korne shell but when I try to use the ksh path for shell scripts I get the little heart character appear on the line and it acts differently

so i use the sh path

You're talking to an HP-UX server, then, something I've never used. In many more traditional UNIX systems like Solaris and (I think) HP-UX, plain sh is a very different shell from ksh, you get an old-fashioned and extremely barebones Bourne shell. But we have a subforum just for HP-UX, you'll find folks there who can explain this behavior better than I could.
