Older versions of ksh report the version if you enter control-v in emacs
mode, which you can enter with 'set -o emacs'.

Newer versions store it in a compind variable ".sh.version", so

echo ${.sh.version}

will give it to you.

[...]

what "$(command -v ksh)"

may also help. On public domain ksh, there's also $KSH_VERSION
