OK


Spoke too soon...

It looks like dash is the default shell

Closest to korn...

I can't remember when I installed last..
If dash was an option..




Sorry..

Part of man page.



NAME
     sh - command interpreter (shell)

SYNOPSIS
     sh [-aCefnuvxIimqVEb] [+aCefnuvxIimqVEb] [-o option_name]
        [+o option_name] [command_file [argument ...]]
     sh -c [-aCefnuvxIimqVEb] [+aCefnuvxIimqVEb] [-o option_name]
        [+o option_name] command_string [command_name [argument ...]]
     sh -s [-aCefnuvxIimqVEb] [+aCefnuvxIimqVEb] [-o option_name]
        [+o option_name] [argument ...]

DESCRIPTION
     sh is the standard command interpreter for the system.  The current
version of sh is in the process of being changed to conform with the
POSIX  1003.2 and 1003.2a specifications for the shell.  This version
has many      features which make it appear similar in some respects to
the Korn shell,   but it is not a Korn shell clone (see ksh(1)).  Only
features designated      by POSIX, plus a few Berkeley extensions, are
being incorporated into      this shell.  We expect POSIX conformance by
the time 4.4 BSD is released.      This man page is not intended to be a
tutorial or a complete specification of the shell.
