.profile problem using set -o vi

The “set –o vi” command won’t run in the .profile. WHY?
This has me puzzled as the problem seems to be too simple, but can’t figure it out. Here's the info...
Running…
Generic sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-5_10
K shell
Here's the .profile

stty istrip
stty erase ^H

NDMAPICFG=/home/user01/cdunix/ndm/cfg/cliapi/ndmapi.cfg
export NDMAPICFG

PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin/:/usr/ucb:/etc:/home/user01/cdunix/ndm/bin:.
export PATH

set -o vi

So why is it not taking the set command in the .profile?
