I'd like to add an environment variable to *any* process. I thought of putting it  
in /etc/rc.local at startup, but the problem is that it has to depend on the user  
using it, so something like ~/Dir or $(HOME)/Dir.

~/.cshrc is not always read, neither is the defaults database, I think. Or am I  
mistaken?

Thanks,
