In what way does it not work?

after I cd into a directory the above line is blank meaning that I have to type pwd to see where I am at. Same thing with the up arrow. When I press the up arrow I just move up it doesnt load the previous command.

I meant, in what way did man ksh not work? But this helps some anyway.

Oh. That's not what you asked for before, but much easier to fix. Try export PS1='${PWD} $ '. Be sure to use single-quotes, not double-quotes.

What does 'man ksh' do?

Thanks man I can see the current directory

man ksh does Manual entry for ksh not found or not installed.

also if I know a file is in my working directory and I want to type the first letter and than tab it....so it shows up. how would I go about this. Sorry if my description is not that clear just difficult to explain

You have my sympathies, working on a proprietary system that doesn't even have manpages installed...!

Hmm.... A bit of googling suggests set -o emacs . That works in my ksh, and fixes tab-completion too, but I don't have AIX...

doesnt work for me.....how would I get to have export PS1='${PWD} $ ' work everytime I login using my putty. Or another way of asking how would I put this in my profile so I dont have to type it in everytime?

Edit your ~/.profile file and insert export PS1=... where appropriate.

I'm out of time, sorry. It may be the keybindings are wrong.
