global alias

it does not work as intended.
when I execute a shell pgm the alias does not work in the sub shell created
by the shell pgm.
basically i want all calls to ex to be executed as ex -v

TIA

just spawning a new shell does not call the profile, just login or su

for this purpose you need to put it in /etc/kshrc
