Unfortunately, "ps -e" trucates process names to 8 characters. If you use "ps -ef", you get a more complete process command name including arguments. In your case, doing a "ps -ef" will probably show you that "exportto" is really "exporttonews". exporttonews with no arguments will put the your current environment variables in 4Sight's (the news_server's) environment. exporttonews is used by the news_server to import your environment on startup. You can use exporttonews to extend your news_server's environment while it is running if you are experimenting with NeWS applications which depend on your environment. --- Dave
