Oh dear - it's red-face time or sort of anyway. I've got it to work
now, and it appears that there was something in my .profile that was
upsetting it. I defined ENV=$HOME/.kshrc so that I could separate
ksh-specific stuff from the standard .profile stuff. When I took this
out and copied my .kshrc file onto the end of .profile, the problem
went away.

I still don't fully understand what was going wrong - I need to learn
more about .profile and .kshrc.
