> Ksh has following note in the manual: > > | The built-in command . file reads the whole file before any > commands > | are executed. alias and unalias commands in the file do not > apply to > | any commands defined in the file. > > This requirement comes from the Bourne shell. ksh tries to stay compatible as much as possible so that old scripts continue to run. However, the rule about reading and parsing the whole script before executing any commands does not apply when processing the profiles, /etc/profile, .profile, .ksh.rc, and $ENV. It only applies to the . command.
