Store them in a file named ".kshrc" which will be read by ksh at login. At
least this is true "ksh" on AT&T UNIX V.  Other implementations may use a
different name for the file. Check your Ksh manual or talk to your system
administrator.

The following is an example showing a few lines from my ".kshrc".  You can
put them in one per line "alias <name> = 'command line' or bunch them as
I have.

alias   \
        lf='ls -CF'                \
        ll='ls -l'
