I have tried everything, but some hard-coded value must exist.
The only way it seems to work is when I explicitly execute an export.
I can do this using bash easily, but what about ash (/bin/sh) or any
other cygwin program (perhaps ones started outside of bash).

TIA
Stephano Mariani

I'm curious as to why Cygwin isn't pickup your NT environment variable,
but you can export this variable from your ~/.bash_profile (if you don't
mind it being picked up for everything you might run from the shell).

Where can I override the LINES environment variable? I need to run some
programs that use this value to determine the display characteristics.

I have set it to 50 in the system environment in windows, but echo
$LINES says 25.
