Simon,
Try putting the aliases in .kshrc, as it is called for sub-shells too.

Subject: [aix-l] How can I set up aliases with dtterm?
I want to set up some aliases.
When I log on through a simple telnet session it's not a problem. However,
I normally use Exceed and run dtterm. Even though I have
DTSOURCEPROFILE=true, and I've confirmed that my .profile is being executed,
I can't set an alias. I assume that this is because the desktop login is
actually invoking a new shell, and aliases don't get passed down like
exported variables; the only aliases I get are those predefined in the Korn
shell, e.g. history, autoload.
Putting the aliases in my .dtprofile doesn't help.
Curiously, if I log on, then issue the login command I get my aliases. But
I don't really want to do that.
Using aixterm instead of dtterm produces the same results.
How can I define aliases in this environment?
