No, whatever file name is stored in $ENV is executed every time a ksh is
started. That file is typically named .env or .kshenv and you normally don't
want your .profile executed every time a sub-shell is started as that'd lead
to undesirable things like your PATH variable being appended to again
(assuming your .profile sets up your PATH by appending bin directories).

Try "ksh -l" (el).
