Hi Chris, I have no 'FTP_PASSIVE' key in %ENV. Should I have $ENV{'FTP_PASSIVE'} = 1? Apparently this can be accomplished by inserting the two lines FTP_PASSIVE=1 export FTP_PASSIVE in my '.bash_profile' file.
A second question. When I run for (sort keys %ENV) { printf "%25s => %s\n", $_, $ENV{$_}; } from BBEdit, I see a small subset of the %ENV that comes from running the script in Terminal. How can I make BBEdit's %ENV more like the system %ENV?
