- Subject: Newbie: Setting environment variables from a .bat file
Folks,
I have some windows BAT files that set some windows CMD environment
variables. I am hoping to run a shell under cygwin but when I run the BAT
files from a shell prompt, the BAT file set variables are not exported to
the parent shell. Is there a way that I can have BAT file set variables
visible in the calling environment?
Neil
