You can use 'ksh -l' or -/bin/ksh (and if you want this by default when you run screen, put the line shell -/bin/ksh in $HOME/.screenrc). If you want your personalizations available more generally, then you may want to put them in, e.g., $HOME/.kshrc and then put the line export ENV=$HOME/.kshrc in $HOME/.profile. But if you are really new to screen and you plan on giving OpenBSD a go, you might want to get familiar with tmux (http://tmux.sourceforge.net/) instead of screen. It's available as a package and it is in base in snapshots now, so it looks like it will be in base in the next release. cheers, -wb
