If you do decide to use ksh, the environment variables will go either 
in .profile or .kshrc.  Check out man ksh for this.  OpenBSD comes 
with pdksh as the ksh shell and to set vi as your command-line editor 
you can do: set -o vi.

Or, what I use because I like to use ESC for command completion, is: 
set -o vi-esccomplete.

I've pasted sections of my .kshrc and .profile files to give you some 
examples.  I have .profile source in .kshrc at the end.  If you have 
any questions, drop me an email.

I hope this helps,
