Thanks, Bob.  That's the way I expected it to work.
I was just unsure of whether there was something
cygwin-specific, as it seems strange that something
like HOSTNAME is not marked for export at the time
that it is set.  I'll stick it into ~/.bashrc.

I've always used the "set -a" shell builtin command in my .bashrc or .kshrc files which then exports all environment variables to all spawned bshells.
