RE: export question
I am sorry that you think I was arguing with you. I apologize if it sounded
that way. Yes what you showed me will do what I wanted. But it did not
explain why export was not working. I could do what you suggest, and by
adding another file I can source that file and put the variable into the
environment, but you did not explain why export was not working. Roberto
Sanchez explained that is a subsequent email.
Thank you both for your help. I think I can fix my current issue and
understand where I was going wrong.

I showed you how to do what you want. I showed that it
does what you want by example. I don't know why you are
arguing with me. The example I gave does exactly what you
just described. If you do what I suggested, subsequent
scripts will see those variables.

You wouldn't be confused if you would lift a finger
and try my example for yourself. You are being lazy.

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
