I need to find the environment variables of a parent process. I have three 
programs the parent, child1, and child2.  The parent spawns child1 with 
the parent waiting for the child to finish. Child1 needs to change the 
environment of the parent, because child1 spawns child2 with an overlay, so
child1's enviroment is lost.  I am able to change command.com's environment
but not that of the parent.  I need to find a way to get to the parent's
enviroment.
