Has there been improvement in ksh's history file recently? Like since 5.0? Because last time I tried, it was unusable if you ran more than two session concurently, as both shell would use the same file directly which lead to odd behavior. Like you did up history in one shell, and you would see a command entered in the other one. Very wierd to grasp. (50+ OpenBSD's apologist will email me right back to tell me that it's a feature. It's not GNU's bash the standard. Things can be different.)
