This is an example of a script I am trying to put together:

#!/bin/sh
PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin
. /etc/site-params
sed -e 's/CHARS/$CHARS/g' this.file


Line 3 puts the variable CHARS into the local environment.  What I then
want the sed to do is to run thru this.file and replace all occurences of
the string CHARS with the value of the variable $CHARS.

All it achieves though is to replace the string CHARS with the string
$CHARS, which is not what I want.

Can someone please suggest (politely) what I should do here.
