insert <TAB> or <ESC> on command line with pdksh?

[Glen Johnson <gjohnson%valcom.com@localhost>]

How can I enter an <ESC> or <TAB> on the command line interface using 
pdksh?  When I used csh, tcsh, sh, bash, ksh93 all I have to do is type 
Ctrl-v and then the character.  With pdksh set to Vi Editing Mode Ctrl-v 
it works just like the others, however when set to Emacs Editing Mode 
Ctrl-v gives the version of pdksh and ignores my next key press.  I even 
tried bind ^V="" to no avail.
How can I get pdksh set -o emacs act like the other shells?
Thank you,
Glen
