ksh startup
I did not understand what you meant by "I cannot use a .shell file ". But if I understand your problem consider this:

The man says:
"The shell first reads commands from the /etc/profile file, and then from either the .profile file in the current directory or from the $HOME/.profile file, if either file exists. Next, the shell reads commands from the file named by performing parameter substitution on the value of the ENV environment variable, if the file exists."

Could you put your profile name into ENV variable and then run ksh?

setenv ENV myprofile
ksh
