27 | ;; UNIX processes inherit a list of name-to-string associations from their |
28 | ;; parents called their `environment'; these are commonly used to control | |
29 | ;; program options. This package permits you to set environment variables | |
30 | ;; to be passed to any sub-process run under Emacs. | |
