This is something which has been on my mind for a long time.

I use the Korn shell, have done for years, and I like vi commands.

When executing ksh, the following things work:

  Solaris ->  # exec ksh -o vi
  FreeBSD ->  # exec ksh -o vi

But, on NetBSD, I don't get vi commands.  I must do it like this:

  # exec ksh
  # set -o vi

And, the following does not work in my .profile the same as it
does on Solaris or FreeBSD

  if [ $SHELL =3D=3D '/bin/ksh' -o $SHELL =3D=3D '/usr/bin/ksh' -o $SHELL =
=3D=3D '/usr/local/bin/ksh' ]
   then set -o vi
  fi

Is this the intended behaviour on NetBSD?  Is there something
I can do to change this?
