Hi: I don't know if this can be done, but I am would like to write a script that would set an environment variable for a particular terminal window. I am running tcsh. If I write a script such as: #! /bin/sh set TEST "test" export TEST TEST is set for the script, but not for the parent terminal. Is there a switch I can send to /bin/sh to use the parent's environment?
