export CLASSPATH="$CLASSPATH:$CP:$REI_HOME/classes:."

The export will set the variable in the environment of that script and
any processes launched from it.  It cannot change the value of variables
in the environment above it.  To get around this you typically use the
'source' command which runs a script in the context of the current shell
rather than spawning a subshell.

Under Windows, the system searches the PATH for shared libraries
(.DLLs).  I think it also searches the directory of the executable
first, and then tries the PATH.  (It might be the other way around, I
don't know.)
