Amber,

This questions comes from time to time. The canonical answer is: there
is no portable way of doing such a thing in C.

In the past it used to be available in the Simtel mirrors some programs
which used hacks for manipulating the so called parent environment.
You'll need to search for such a program for the specific version of the
Operating System you're running.
