a dumb question

on bsd, using either bourne shell or csh, and on sun machines again
using either bourne shell or csh, i have no problem establishing an
automatic right margin on insert during vi. on my 3b1
i am having trouble with either ksh or vi, which i do not know.
in my .kshrc located in /u/wouk i have the lines:
EXINIT=/u/wouk/.exinit
EXRC=/u/wouk/.exrc
in .exinit i have:
set ai aw w1200=20 scroll=16 sm wm=10 sw=4
yet when i execute vi, i find that wm is not set. if i perform
:set wm-10
everything is fine; right margin is set properly.
what is wrong with what i am doing? does ksh require a different way
of establishing vi options?
