Unfortunately, I never used ksh, and have a hard time making much 
comment on it. I know that you'll have to work really hard to spot any 
differences between bash on different Unixes. And the same is true for 
csh and tcsh (I honestly don't know how you would).

Almost noone have sh these days, but instead pretend that bash is sh, 
which cause a lot of confusion and errors. But that can't be blamed on 
the shell.
