Earnie,

I noticed this before as well, although I use a different toolbar. I found that
just exiting and restarting the toolbar "fixes" the problem. I think that when
you restart the toolbar, it will see the new environment setting(s) and will
then be able to pass it on to its child processes.

Rick
