Can someone explain what this does?
This is incorrect (see upthread.) ENV is for setting what your interactive rc ought to be. You usually point it at ~/.kshrc. If your session hasn't loaded ~/.profile in order to load $ENV then the kshrc won't necessarily be loaded by your shell no matter what. For ~/.profile to be in your environmnt you definitely need to load it in your xsession. Danny
