Excellent, thanks Dave.
ksh is in /usr/bin, as is csh and sh is in /sbin - none of which are /bin as
I was led to believe by the tutorial I was using for reference. I corrected
it at the top of the script and then I used ./scriptname and it worked! So
thanks are also due to Jim.
So the problem was with the script after all, doh!

Andy,
It is very possible that the current path you are in is not explicitly
defined in your environment variable PATH. Do the following:
1. which ksh (confirm where ksh is residing - should be /usr/bin/ksh (or
csh or sh)
2. confirm that the path to ksh (or csh/sh) is correct in your script
3. ./scriptname (this explicitly tells the system to execute scriptname
in the local directory).
Dave

Hi,
try this script, and send to us output....
-------------------------------------- <code> ---
#!/bin/ksh -x
printf "Hello, World!\n"
env
