Thanks (and Alexey, and anyone else whose response I haven't seen yet).
The goal is to compute and set a bunch of environment variables for use by a
program that will be launched from an interactive shell. The truly clean way
to do it would be to fix said program so that it computes the variables
itself and doesn't use environment variables as input. Or set it up to read a
.rc file. But this is what I'm stuck with. Oh well.
So write a shell script to wrap around that program that computes the
correct environment, and then launches the program. You can then alias the
program name to the script in the interactive shell.
