Never mind. I answered my own question. All I had to do was put export EDITOR=emacs in ~/.profile On Tue, 25 Jan 2000, Kenneth Kellum wrote:

ksh does work, but I noticed two things: I don't have a ~/.kshrc file and the up-down arrow keys don't scroll though previous commands. I don't think I can live without the latter.
The reason I'm looking at this is that at home I run SuSE 6.3, but at work RedHat 6.1 networked to a Solaris box. My choices at work appear to be tsch and ksh. tsch seems to lack the functionality of bash/ksh. I was thinking that I'd rather not deal with two shells, but bash and ksh do seem to be very similar, so maybe that won't be a problem.

To change your shell use the chsh command. The available shells are listed in /etc/shells. If ksh is not there, edit it and run the command.
The file /etc/passwd lists what login shell you are using.
