Aha... you are correct.  ... I think that while tsch was the default, ksh was also present... or maybe it was ksh configured to be tsch or vice versa....or was that zsh?

Over the years, I have supported and run on so many different "*nixs" that I have a whole stable of "set-up" scripts that configure them all to "look the same." 

Consequently, they all "run together" anymore -- one of the "advantages :)" of being retired.
