Correct me if I'm wrong - but this is only for Bourne shells and compatible. It wont set the environment for my personal zsh shell? For perl modules? All I want is to have *one* place to set this and then have it done with. NOT have to set it in half a dozen places for different parts of the system, and have the concern that sometime down the track that a new system component will need to know about that environment, but wont know about it because it's not been manually set. I would have thought this was a somewhat common need? .../Nemo
