This line can sometimes cause problems on the RS6000
/bin/stty dec # Use DEC-style control characters
This line is fine if run from terminals using the Berkeley line discipline.
This however cannot be guaranteed (the default line discipline is POSIX).
Perhaps it could be preceded by the following line to assure that the
Berkeley line discipline is indeed being used:
/bin/stty disp bsd
It would be ideal to test first which line discipline is being used but I can't
think of a way to do this offhand.
