I have those aliases, and they once worked correctly on my 3B2, probably
with KSH-89 or some such.  However with the 'astkit' version of KSH I've
got on my NetBSD/sparc now (Version M-12/28/93f), they don't any more.
They don't work with Version M-12/28/93d on SunOS-4 either.

23:52 [128] $ alias __A __B __C __D __H
__A=$'\020'
__B=$'\016'
__C=$'\006'
__D=$'\002'
__H=$'\001'

(I wish PD-KSH was kind enough to expand literal control characters in
aliases into the $'\000' notation, and that it allowed such notation on
input too.  Just a S.M.O.P. I guess.... ;-)

No aliases or custom bindings are not necessary for pd-ksh on NetBSD
though -- it really does work "out-of-the-box".
