thanks - I had no idea there were 2 variable namespaces. It looks like 
everything I can see in 'environ' was explcitly exported in 
/etc/profile, or ~/.bashrc, or picked up from Windows.

Is there a way for C programs to pick up the contents of the shell 
variable namespace? In particular, is there some way I can pick up 
SHELL, or some other way that I can find out if my app's running on bash?

Thanks

-Paul
