I think what he meant to say was
> .profile is executed, otherwise it isn't.  If you want to have
:                                            If you want to have
: something that is executed on every shell startup (like the .cshrc in

What the Korn Shell man page says is:

    ENV     If this parametere is set, then parameter substitution is
            performed on the value to generate the pathname of the script
            that will be executed when the shell is invoked. (See "Invocation"
            below.)  This file it typically used for "alias" and "function"
            definitions.
