Well I have heard half most of those replies before, and so far none had worked (the commands return an empty string), except for the "what" command which tells me too much about files other than ksh...It makes me think my OS (tru64) is to blame...
No, Tru64 is not to blame.
Currently I work with Tru64 V5.x, and from the replies given above there is one (and only one) solution that works for me: cntrl-v.
And I remember having seen it with Digital Unix V4.x and even V3.x.
So let's see why it shouldn't work for you.
Two ideas:
1) Are you in vi mode?
If so, type 'set -o emacs' and try again.
2) Is cntrl-v used for anything else?
You could verify with 'stty -a'
