Hello! This is my first posting to comp.unix.wizards, so if I seem a little vague, it's me not you. Ok, I was wanting to know how to pass environment vars through pipes to other proccesses. Oh I don't know, something like this : cat ctext | crypt key | vi As it stnads now, vi bitches about having no terminal info. I know that the shell and/or vi probably wasen't meant to be used like this, but there are other things that I want to be able to do. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to give a process whose terminal has gone out to lunch a new terminal? Does anybody have any idea what I'm driving at? Arrrgh...
