Hello Managers!
This list is the greatest!  I received many different responses, a
few of them saying that they have set -o emacs in their /.profile
and it works fine.  One suggestion to change the default shell in 
/etc/passwd to /bin/ksh -o emacs looked promising, but didn't work.  
Another suggestion to add export ENV=$HOME/.kshrc in your $HOME/
.profile and in $HOME/.kshrc set -o emacs didn't work either.  
Actually NONE of the suggestions worked!  I know I had this working
in 4.0E.  So now I am wondering if my invocation of DECterm is
causing trouble.  Tru64 doesn't come with a DECterm icon, so I add 
the icon with Create Action and the command dxterm -sl.  This always
worked before.  Do .cshrc, .login and .profile need to be world
readable and executable?
-rwxr-----   1 root     system       1322 Jun  5 12:50 .cshrc
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     system       3970 Jun  5 12:59 .dtprofile
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     system         28 Jun  6 08:17 .kshrc
-rwxr-----   1 root     system       2001 Jun  5 13:00 .login
-rwxr-----   1 root     system       1888 Jun  6 08:17 .profile
I have a default shell of ksh, Tru64 5.1 patch kit 2 on a PWS 433. 
Any other ideas?  Thanks to all who wrote....
