Tab-tab works out of the box? I'm used to this for pdksh:

        set -o emacs
        bind '^I'=complete
        bind '^I^I'=complete-list

My question is, do we modify the ksh source or put it in /etc/profile. If we
put it in /etc/profile how do we test for ksh? If it is set -o emacs then
we don't need to.
