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.
Of course, it's a good idea to be able to construct a specific
environment for a subprocess, so please go ahead and file a bug report
asking us to extend "open process" to allow passing in an array of
environment variables!
