(1) Does ksh exist?

(2) How can I get man to look in /usr/local/man?
    I tried setting MANPATH but that didn't seem to work.

(3) How can I change the default geometry and position of the 
    icon box and the DECterm window? using .Xdefaults?

(4) Does anyone have the appropriate machine include file
    for Austin KCL?  I got the tar files, unpacked them, and
    and tried a make using the VAX include file, which didn't
    work.  Better yet, does anyone have the binaries that I
    could just ftp?  What about the binaries for CLOS on AKCL?

(5) How can I adjust my DS3100's precision time piece (i.e.,
    clock)?

(6) Since I don't have Adobe's transcript software, and I do
    have a postscript driver that ignores the #! of files
    already in postscript, what alternatives do I have for
    making lpr do the right thing regardless of whether the
    file is postscript or plain text?

    I currently have two "printers" in my printcap, one for
    postscript and the other for non-postscript files.  My
    current solution is a shell script that looks at the
    file and invokes lpr with the appropriate -P switch.
    Is there a more elegant solution?

Thanks for any help,
John (jwb@lindenthal.cae.ri.cmu.edu)
