The read command is supposedly a shell builtin.
Strangely enough, the first time I tried the
example given with ksh, I got the exact same response.
However on later attempts, I got what was expected.
I find this odd.
/bin/sh and bash both handle this just fine.
I can't speak for ksh, but maybe its time to
switch to a different shell?
