Comment 1 for bug 1213597

Valentin Quequet dixit:

>"${HOME}/.joerc" is a regular empty file with proper permissions ( 0664
                               ^^^^^^^^^^

If the file is empty, no configuration is available. You need
to delete it or make it a copy of /etc/jupp/joerc (if you use
joe from joe-jupp) or /etc/joe/joerc (if you use joe from joe);
preferably delete it as the system-wide copy gets used then
instead.

Yes, obviously: if you type joe it first looks for ~/.joerc then
for /etc/jupp/joerc - if one of those exists, it uses it and not
the other. The joerc file contains all information, such as key
bindings, menus, etc.

I'm afraid this counts as "don't do that then" style user error.

FWIW, I'm quite impressed with mksh interactively. I thought it was much
*much* more bare bones. But it turns out it beats the living hell out of
ksh93 in that respect. I'd even consider it for my daily use if I hadn't
wasted half my life on my zsh setup. :-) -- Frank Terbeck in #!/bin/mksh
