Hi,

Kenneth Nellis, le Wed 31 May 2006 10:07:48 -0400, a écrit :
> Furthermore, "echo $COLUMNS" and "printenv COLUMNS" don't agree.

Note: echo $COLUMNS prints your shell's internal COLUMNS variable, while
printenv COLUMNS prints the COLUMNS environment variable that the shell
gives to children processes. That explains how the values can differ (it
does not explain why printenv's value is not always correct).
