KSH on old unix systemV: search history

To search backward in your ksh command history, Ctrl-R in emacs mode ought to work, even if you're running an old version such as ksh88. It is not an incremental character-by-character search like in bash. You have to type Ctrl-R, then the string you want to search for, then Enter.
