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} =3D> 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? ,Douglas Douglas Lewan Shubert Ticketing (201) 489-8600 ext 224 If the majority of cooking accidents happen in the kitchen, then why don't = we just cook in other rooms?
