No luck with that:

Code:
$ sh --version
--version: A specified flag is not valid for this command.

However using the ksh method (i.e. Ctrl-V while in set -o vi command mode):

Code:
$ Version M-11/16/88f

It does appear to behave more Korny than Bashy. The above is from a HP-UX 11iV2 (11.23) system.

By contrast:

Code:
$ ksh 
$ Version 11/16/88
$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 3.00.14(1)-release (hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.11)
