Uwe Brauer writes: no, i want to modify the environment that xemacs passes to its subprocesses ---------------------------------------------------------------------- (describe-function 'setenv) `setenv' is an interactive compiled Lisp function -- loaded from ".../xemacs/lisp/process.elc" (setenv VARIABLE &optional VALUE UNSET SUBSTITUTE-ENV-VARS) Documentation: Set the value of the environment variable named VARIABLE to VALUE. VARIABLE should be a string. VALUE is optional; if not provided or is `nil', the environment variable VARIABLE will be removed. UNSET, if non-nil, means to remove VARIABLE from the environment. SUBSTITUTE-ENV-VARS, if non-nil, means to substitute environment variables in VALUE using `substitute-env-vars'. Interactively, a prefix argument means to unset the variable. Interactively, the current value (if any) of the variable appears at the front of the history list when you type in the new value. This function works by modifying `process-environment'. As a special case, setting variable `TZ' calls `set-time-zone-rule' as a side-effect.
