oh, ok... i get it now... mrxvt exports to the bell command the
environment that mrxvt was invoked with.

if mrxvt just exports the _current_ shell environment, i could do what i
need, and (likely) without causing problems of creating arguments to a
command... can that be made to work?
i'm not sure what you mean about "manually update the environment
ourselves before execing bellCommand"... if i set FOO=bar then invoke
mrxvt, the shells in mrxvt all have FOO=bar... and if i change FOO=foo
then call an external program via the bellCommand the external program is
called with an environment that includes FOO=bar.
