- Info says to use the START environment variable. In my .profile, I have:
-
- START=$HOME/.kshrc
- export START
-
- I did not find such a thing in info, but if it is there it is wrong.
- The standard way is to define the variable ENV to point to your
- per-shell initialization file - see pp. 78 and 182 of Korn & Bolsky's
- book. The manual page for ksh states this explicitly too. Where in
- Info did you find the START reference?
