I've successfully exported variables to a process run with shell, e.g.:

Now I have a process I need to read and write to, but I don't know how
to export variables to it - clues?

A process that gets launched either via shell or open process will inherit the environment variables set by the engine... So I think doing:

put "Hello!" into $somevar

put shell("./test.sh")
  or
open process ... for ...

Should both have the effect that the launched process will see 'somevar' as specified.

Warmest Regards,
