this shows that QUIT is ignored inside the script
at the same prompt that you ran ./ttt.ksh from, run the following command
trap
and send the output -- I (and dgk) expect that QUIT is also ignored in your
interactive shell -- and that would implicate your .profile or $ENV file
(and possibly ~/.kshrc depending on how your local administration)
