|That's my understanding of getenv's and putenvs.  All of the env
|variables in the daughter's workspace die when the daughter task ends.
|The daughter can read any env variables that were set in the mother's
|environmental workspace, but the daughter can't modify any of them.
|
|      Environment work downwards but not upwards.  The daughter's
|      environment space dies when the daughter task dies.
|
|      For example, the daughter process could start a granddaughter
|      process, and the granddaughter's workspace could "getenv" all the
|      "putenvs" that were done in either the mother's or grandmother's
|      workspace.  But the granddaughter task can't putenv any info
|      backwards up into the mother's or daughters workspace.

	their parents, not t'other way 'round.
