FPATH and autoload, and persistent history. This is what I use:

if [ $0 = ksh -o $0 = -ksh -o $0 = /bin/ksh ]; then
  FPATH="${HOME}/functions"
  HISTFILE="${HOME}/.ksh_history"
  set -o physical
  set -o vi-tabcomplete
  for f in $(ls "$FPATH")
      do
        autoload $f
      done
  alias pd='pushd'
  alias pdd='pushd ~/'
fi
