The "env" command prints the environment variables of your
current shell (should work with any shell).

To view the environment variables of another process, use
something like "ps -ewwp 1234" (1234 being the PID number).
This requires PROCFS to be mounted on /proc.

This is the last bit of the puzzle. It does indeed print environment variables set with 'env VAR=foo prog' but as I've now understood from previous replies the program doesn't set variables, it uses them if they are already set, otherwise uses defaults.

Thanks

Chris
