Subject: is it possible to pass shell variables to emacs?
Date: Thu, 6 Dec 2007 11:38:42 -0800 (PST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <44a8858b-32d1-4b14-803f-4cded782b968@a39g2000pre.googlegroups.com> (raw)

is there any possible way to do this? I would like to avoid making
them environment variables. I have a command-line script that when
called, sets all of these variables. I would like to use these
variables for example when finding a file.

Maybe there's some custom code I could put in my .emacs file. or I
could write a wrapper around emacs.

Thanks.
