Carl,

Ok, I can see what you're saying now.  You meant EOL's, not EOF's, right?
To reset the system mounts to binary, use the following:

eval "`mount -m | sed '/ -s /s/ -t / -b /'`"

To reset them to text, you could use something like

eval "`mount -m | sed '/X11/!{/ -s /s/ -b / -t /}'`"

to make sure the fonts directory is still mounted in binary (or X will
crash).

Hope this helps.

FYI, pdksh is an official package, and ast-ksh has been submitted for
evaluation.
