Problems with QSH and running the environment script in the .profile

    We have a shell script that is using exported variables.  Our .profile
file is setting up the path correctly.  It is also setting the ENV variable
to execute a shell script that is exporting variables used in other shell
scripts.  If we start QSH from the command line with no parms,  the shell
script in the ENV variable executes,  and our exported variables are
available to the shell script that we run in QSH.  However,   if we call QSH
passing the qualified path to the shell script we want to execute,  it
appears that the ENV script defined in our .profile is not being executed.
There seems to be a difference in how QSH runs when running QSH without a
parm interactively,  and how it works when trying to run a shell script from
a CL program.
