$0 variable using ". file" format

I need to access the script name within a korn shell script.

cat tst1.sh
echo Script Name: $0

when tst1.sh is run normally the script reports "Script Name: tst1.sh"

However when I run the shell as ". tst1.sh" the script reports:
"Script Name: -ksh"

How do I access the script name when call the script ". tst1.sh" ?
