Edit .profile

I just started to use Solaris and am looking to see if anyone has any good documents for begginers on using Solaris, specifically, how to edit .profile. I know this question may be a little vague...
I have done numerous searches on google with no results!

Thanks for your time.

Here is a good example from ksh .profile for Solaris

################################################################################
# Name: .profile
# Description: This is root's profile. Login shells source this after
# /etc/profile. It is used to define root's environment.
# All non-environment configuration will be done in the
# shell specific resource file.
# Special: ENV= is specific to ksh to indicate the name of it's
# resource file. Bourne shell ignores this.
