To set an environment variable (UNIX)

• In one of your startup files (.cshrc, .shrc, .login), add a line that sets the variable.

  In some shells (such as sh, bash, or ksh) the line is as follows:

  export VARIABLE=value

  In other shells (such as csh, or tsch) the line is as follows:

  setenv VARIABLE value
