+mksh is the MirBSD enhanced version of the Public Domain Korn
+shell (pdksh), a bourne-compatible shell which is largely si-
+milar to the original AT&T Korn shell. It includes bug fixes
+and feature improvements in order to produce a modern, robust
+shell good for interactive and especially script use. It has
+UTF-8 support in the emacs command line editing mode; corres-
+ponds to OpenBSD 4.1-beta ksh (minus GNU bash-like $PS1); the
+build environment requirements are autoconfigured; throughout
+code simplification/bugfix/enhancement has been done.
+
+A sample ~/.mkshrc is included in ${PREFIX}/share/examples/mksh/
