(This is on System V Release 2). I run ksh in emacs mode and in general, characters echo immediately. There is one case where this is not true and may be what Geoff was experiencing. If you insert characters at the beginning of a long command, ksh rewrites the entire command every character. This is so it doesn't have to depend on the existence of special terminal capabilities.
