They will also only be set in the instance of the shell you (or the script) set them in. So if you start mozilla from a terminal in X, the environment variables will only be available from within that terminal and any terminals you run from it (since their shells will inherit the variables). You also don't have to reboot Linux for your changes to take effect, in case that's what you're thinking ;-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
