I answered my own question, but I thought I'd post it because it
might be of interest to other ksh fans!
If I add 'tty' to my CYGWIN32 variable, everything works fine (which
makes sense--pdksh is written to interface w/ a tty). My current
CYGWIN32 environment variable is:
CYGWIN32=binmode tty ntea
One other quirk I found with pdksh; I need to run it in 'vi' mode, or
things act strange (prompt is printed twice, echo acts funny sometimes...).
As long as I run with VISUAL=vi set, it's great.
Also, I found that when 'tty' is set in CYGWIN32, the native WinNT port
of vim 5.1 doesn't seem to work properly (when running it from a bash
or pdksh). (This might be an indication of a good reason to provide
GNU-win32 versions of tools--even though native versions are also
available--in the GNU-win32 CD package that is being discussed).
