Additional Information
In standard ksh 'history' is not a built in command but is aliased against 'fc -l'. This command, 'fc -l' is built in to pmksh but is not aliased.
The history command alias can be created as follows:
alias history=’fc –l’
and can be added to the system profile or to a user’s profile.
