Re: [ksh] Show command number in shell prompt

If you use numbered history references, they refer to the history
number, not the command number.  For example, !25 will execute the 25th
command from your history.  This could be confusing if you show the
command number in $PS1.

And of course the "history" command shows history numbers, not command
numbers.

The command number doesn't seem to be used for anything other than
showing the number of commands issued in the current shell process.
(Personally, I don't find the command number to be useful information.)
