depends.  a lot of bash and korn scripts are really just Bourne scripts, so
there is a good chance it will work unless it uses some really bash specific
stuff.

donno, never checked.  tab completion doesn't impress me for some reason, don't
know why.  well, it's the purist in me.  dunno.

which ones don't?  i can only think of one off hand.

as far as command history goes, hit ESC and you are in command mode.  j and k
to scroll through the history, can be searched with /  and ? and n works for
next search match.  it's vi, all the way.  on the command line.  it's AWESOME.
screw arrow keys.  and if vi isn't your thing it does emacs as well.

your average linux d00d wouldn't know a Korn script if it stoop up and bloodied
his nose.
