Hi,

[hoping my post doesn't arrive duplicated or triplicated]

How do you set the prompt in ksh? The man page doesn't seem to help.
OpenBSD ksh has a different manpage. Compare:
https://man.openbsd.org/ksh.1#PS1
and
https://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?ksh

For example:
PS1="\u@\h:\w\$ "

is not expanded.

Thanks
