- Hi,
-
- I am trying to write a script to set an environment variable in
- my tcsh environment. I could use an alias to do it, but would
- much rather do it from a script. What i need to do is, run a
- script to change the value of one environment variable, but
- every time i do this, it changes the variable in the spawned
- process, but it then disappears when it dies.
-
- I need this variable to remain around!! Any ideas would be welcome.
-
- tnx cul wayne!!
