Doesnt source .kshrc when ksh is started

Hi!
When a start a ksh, it doesnt source my .kshrc file. Even when I try to do it manually, it doesnt go into effect at all. I borrowed the file from someone else to make sure that I dont have any errors in the .kshrc file. This is what it says:

$ . .kshrc
/bin/ksh: .: .kshrc: not found

Can someone help please?

Thanks!

where did you put the .kshrc? because .kshrc is not in /bin/ksh when I looked.

usually .*rc files are in your home directory.
try this: get your borrowed file and dump it into your home dir.

personally, I prefer bash though...

to have korn shell execute a .kshrc or any other rc file, you need to do:
export ENV=~/.kshrc in your .profile

True at least with the *real* ksh
