> The issues is that the ENV variables defined in the shell are lost within a buffer.

> Here's an example:
> 1) //Define an ENV variable call FOO
> UNIX setenv FOO FOO_VALUE
> 2) Open up a file in emacs called junk in the same window
> 3) In this new file, execute the shell command Ctrl-U Shift-! "echo $FOO"
> You are basically echoing the value of $FOO into the buffer junk.
>
> This works in emacs ver23.2 but fails in ver23.3 with the message "FOO: Undefined variable."

> Why is this difference of behaviour in the latest version?
