Hi,

under FVWM, how can I get the same behavior as the following BASH
command:
    export SOME_PATH=$SOME_PATH:/usr/lib
?

The problem is that I don't know whether $[SOME_PATH] is already set or
not. When it is set, then
    setenv SOME_PATH $[SOME_PATH]:/usr/lib
sets the value of $[SOME_PATH] to "$[SOME_PATH]:/usr/lib". When it is
not set, then the above command works as desired.

Felix

PS: I know that I still have to finish up those logos. I hope that I'll
find the time next week (currently, I still have a lot of other
obligations to fullfill).

PPS: To contact me off list don't reply but send mail to "felix.klee" at
the domain "inka.de". Otherwise your email to me might get automatically
deleted!
