From the keyboard of wayne@gbrmpa.gov.au (Wayne Amisano):
:I am trying to write a script to set an environment variable in
:my tcsh environment.  I could use an alias to do it, but would
:much rather do it from a script.  What i need to do is, run a
:script to change the value of one environment variable, but
:every time i do this, it changes the variable in the spawned
:process, but it then disappears when it dies.
:
:I need this variable to remain around!!  Any ideas would be welcome.

RTFFAQ.

If God had meant for us to be naked, we would have been born that way.
