You can of course put the following into .profile
Code:
#ksh takes this startup file:
ENV=$HOME/.kshrc; export ENV

If ENV is found in the environment when an interactive ksh is invoked, then parameter expansion, command substitution, and arithmetic substitution are performed on the value of $ENV to generate the pathname of a script that will be executed before the first prompt is issued. If ENV is not found in the environment when an interactive ksh is invoked and there is a file named .kshrc in your login directory, that file will be executed before the first prompt is issued.

Depending on how ksh is configured on your system, it may also look for /etc/ksh/.kshrc. On systems that are configured to use this file, you can skip executing it by setting ENV to a string starting with /./ or ././ (such as /.$HOME/.kshrc to execute only $HOME/.kshrc or /./dev/null to avoid executing either of those files).
