Author How to display the each executed line of a shell script?

When I start (in ksh) a shell script test.sh
How do I let the shell interpreter display each line he will execute
just before he is really executing it.
The display should include the real content of variables.

All this cross-posting is really going overboard.

We'll see you the next time around. (Unless you've cross-posted
to a dozen groups for something less than a system emergency.)

Scratch that. This is obviously your post too:

Is this a redirection of ALL (?) output of ALL (?) statements to the file
myfile.dat?

Wouldn't it be better to use tee instead?
