[comp.sys.ibm.pc] How can a pgm change it's parent's environment

lane@dalcs.UUCP (John Wright/Dr. Pat Lane) (11/25/88)

A few weeks ago, there were several postings on how you could change
environment strings in a parent process from the child.  Could some-
one give me the upshot of all that.  A sudden interest has arisen.
Many thanks.
