Make that 'sourced before $ENV'. Note that ENV has
to be set before the shell is invoked.
ENV If this variable is set, then parameter
expansion, command substitution, and arith-
metic substitution are 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
is typically used for alias and function
definitions. The default value is
$HOME/.kshrc.
I remember a Certification question that asked for the
correct order of /etc/profile, .kshrc, and ~/.profile.
Bad question, no cookie.
If there would be any default, it should use arrow keys.
A beginner wouldn't expect anything more than that.

20+ years of ksh and vi myself. But that is not part
of this argument.
