if you are going to use ksh(88|93) at some point later, it's best to 
set things related to bash in .bash_profile and/or .bashrc. 
see bash(1).

or, you could test for the shell & do settings accordingly in 
~/.profile ... but that gets old & tiresome fast once you start 
using/experimenting w/ different shells.
