- I've been experimenting with some of the CLIs that are available for
- the ST/TT, and now I have a little question someone here could probably
- help me with:
-
- What exactly is the difference between the commands 'set' and 'setenv'?
- I know what a variable is, and also what an environment variable is.
- I'm asking because the shell I have almost decided upon (Tomshell),
- doesn't have a 'setenv' (just 'set'). Other shells, notably gulam, have
- both 'set' and 'setenv'.
-
- Does the lack of a setenv command in Tomshell mean it simply cannot set
- environment variables at all?
