Thank you Kevin Rodgers, for your response plus commentary. I apologize for
the poor wording in my original post, the question looks quite stupid.
Sorry for wasting your time.
My intended question is a bit more complicated. Change the above from "few"
to "nearly one-hundred." I have failed to discover an effective way to do
this. Can I somehow *flash* the state of emacs' environment variables to be
in line with the shell that "owns" my current emacs session?
Thank you (again) for any assistance,
Dan
