Opps! >>> I did mean EOL and not EOF, sorry for the confusion...
Like I said in my last post... I don't have a problem with bash or zsh only
with ksh that I compiled on Cygwin. Not a major problem for me but I would
like to know how to correct it. It seems to me, from what I can remember,
that the ksh port from the Microsoft NT 4.0 Resource Kit didn't have this
problem. But when I compiled the *nx pdksh on Cygwin that is when I started
to see this problem with ksh.
Again my mistake on the EOL and EOF thing...
