	The shell variable  ENV  is supposed to name a script to be
invoked whenever the Korn shell starts up an interactive shell.  While
this is the case for just about all users, on my system it is not the
case for users with the user-id of  root .  Is this how  UNIX  is
supposed to work?
	For my system:  uname -a
FreeBSD  4.3-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE #0: Sat Apr 21 10:54:49 GMT
2001     jkh at narf.osd.bsdi.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC  i386
	How does  ENV  work in later systems, the same (i.e., not for  root )?
