Subject: setenv and find-file
Date: Fri, 17 May 2013 15:29:47 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <155DEC68569B714B86C2C7075F5EDA9828F794FC@DAKIYA1.pegasus.local> (raw)

It seems like I'm seeing the following.

1. Change a shell variable via (setenv "NAME" "value").
2. Use that variable in subshells in various ways and life is fine.
   M-x ! echo ${NAME}	=> value
   M-x shell		inherits the value
3. Find a file using that variable and C-x C-f uses the /previous/ value.

So, would anyone mind confirming that for me. (I'm easily confused.) Should this be regarded as a bug?

If the majority of cooking accidents happen in the kitchen, then why don't we just cook in other rooms?
