bringing out variable

[Sebastiaan <S.Breedveld@ITS.TUDelft.NL>]

Hi,

I wrote a little bash script, but I ran into a problem: I need to export a
variable out of the bash scipt into the shell. Shortly, it comes to this:

#!/bin/sh
#
DISPLAY=:1
export DISPLAY


When I execute this script, the value is set correctly in the script
environment, but after execution 'echo $DISPLAY' still results the old
value. I have also tried 'set DISPLAY', without succes. Any hints?

Thanks in advance,
Sebastiaan

  NT is the OS of the future. The main engine is the 16-bit Subsystem
  (also called MS-DOS Subsystem). Above that, there is the windoze 95/98
  16-bit Subsystem. Anyone can see that 16+16=32, so windoze NT is a 
  *real* 32-bit system.
