1) Replacing SH with KSH is a serious breach of sanity.
	KSH is ALMOST a superset of SH -- but the differences are VERY
	REAL.  It can waste hours or days for support people when folks
	play this game.

2) Now let's see, Andy:
	ln vi /usr/bin/vi
	ln vi /usr/bin/view
	ln vi /usr/bin/ex
	ln vi /usr/bin/vedit
		... How does that work, again?
