You can put your variables both in ~/.bashrc and ~/.bash_profile. Or you can use (setenv "TEST" "foo"). It's difficult to do this in elisp because `shell-command' starts a sub-shell (and if you do "export TEST=foo" in a subshell it won't affect the parent process) If you still qwant to know how to tweak Emacs, try to post to news://gnu.emacs.help. -- Felix Natter -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
