Where I was, a few students implemented 'dsh', a follow-on to 'csh', which had ESC-based pathname, user, ~user, and envariable expansion (ran in cbrk mode), and a few other things (and some really goofy error messages). I inherited it and immediately declared it dead upon the arrival on scene by tcsh, which I then abandoned once I discovered bash, since I wanted to have a CLI which resembled my primary prototyping language.

I think I used ksh once in a goverment facility on some obcure SunOS environment. I went to fix a printer driver and I got stuck with ksh and ed. No vi, no emacs, no csh, no sh. Nothing. It was rough... Thanks for listening.
