  The file is called .profile as described in the manual. If you have
two ids which go into the same directory but with diferent shells (I do
that) and you have ksh stuff which won't work for sh, put the simple
stuff in .profile and end .profile with a statement:
	ENV=~/.kshrc
Then put the ksh speciffic stuff in the .kshrc file.
