Okay. I figured out an easy way to do this. I stuck this in my /etc/init.d/rc, /etc/init.d/rcS (and /etc/profile) files:
. /etc/myenv
Putting a "." (period) was necessary otherwise the variables don't export to the proceeding scripts. Why this is important, I don't know, still learning Linux.
When you use the "." (period), you are 'sourcing' the file in the current scripte (ie: it's just like you typed the contents of /etc/myenv at that point in /etc/init.d/rcS).
If you omit the period and just have: /etc/myenv
...the file gets executed as a seperate (child) process, and any changes to it's local environment are purged when the "program" exits.
