The most obvious is arrays, ksh has them and vanilla bourne sh does not. But there are a lot of features like that, listing comprehensively would be difficult. And on many systems, /bin/sh is not even a vanilla bourne shell, but something more primitive. What's your system?

On modern O/S "sh" often is the Posix Shell not the old Bourne Shell.
What Operating System and version was the scrript written for in ksh, and what Operating System and version is going to run the script?
