Most of the "set" options can also be specified on the ksh command line.
The "set -x" parameter to ksh is a useful debug feature to print commands and their arguments when executing a ksh script.
FYI, "ksh -x script_name" is the same as "ksh script_name" with "set -x" in the script itself.

POSIX specification for set.
