Yep, it does support it.  Except that it is named ex.rc and is searched
for in the current directory and then the HOME directory.  Note that you
may have to set the HOME environment variable.  The other thing that can
be done is to set the EXINIT environment variable to something like 
`so x:/your/own/ex.rc' which will source the named file of commands.
