The Lisp Ref Manual says that sub-processes inherit the environment from
emacs with overrides coming from the variable 'process-environment'.  I can
eval (getenv "PATH") just fine (and so with several other environment 
variables) but when I eval 

        (process-send-string tempproc "set\n")

I only get this real small set of  variables.  My sub-process is ksh.
Sending 'echo $PATH' predictably returns a blank as well.

What environment is my subprocess 'supposed' to inherit?  It certainly doesn't
have much of one now.
