A shell by any other name...

[ded at aplvax.UUCP]

Occasionally I like to use the Bourne shell interactively. 
On these occasions I would like the sh to read ".profile"
automatically so my prompt can be set, etc.  The documentation 
implies that "sh -" should do it for me...but it doesn't.
True, I can execute "sh", then ". .profile" once
the "$" prompt appears (and I do), but still, but still...

Is there any way to accomplish the above other than 
by using the Bourne shell as my login shell?
