Here's a snippit from my ~/.kshrc, which kinda-sorta approximates bash's default behavior. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any way to bind TAB for filename completion in ksh88. :-( Apparently ksh93 can handle this, but it isn't available on any of the servers I support.

For Unix (HP/Sun) accounts, I use Korn, where bash typically isn't available. I like either, but am tending to like bash more for the non-vi command line editing that uses cursor keys (I've been told that this is "set -o emacs" in Korn, but it shore don't work like that on Korn-88). For one 3rd party install, I use csh because that's what they require. And because of they way they have it setup, if I'm in Korn and execute their setup, it won't work. I have to change to csh first, then execute their setup. Just poorly written, IMHO.
