Hi,

Viktor mentioned to me that I might have some luck with HB_SETENV to set ENV
vars for child processes, though it would set the ENV's for the current
process too.  I was wondering if a new HB_ Harbour function could be made to
do it for child processes, much like how Blinker's SWPSETENV() /
SWPSETENVBAS() commands do ( http://www.ousob.com/ng/blinker/ng5ade2.php ).
Since this might not be easy to do... perhaps an optional arg added to the
HB_RUN command that allows some way to pass it ENV vars?  Maybe that is too
sloppy, I don't know.

Thanks in advance for reading.

PS:  If anyone is curious, we are trying to change the PROMPT= when our main
.PRG file calls "cmd.exe" to shell out in Windows to display anything we
want, making it obvious to users that they are currently in a SHELL.
