(eshell-modify-global-environment): Added this customization variable, which will cause any "export" commands within any eshell buffer to modify the global Emacs environment. It defaults to nil, which means that such commands will only modify that Eshell buffer's environment. (eshell-var-initialize): Initialize `eshell-modify-global-environment'.

# This defines a bash command named `edit' which contacts/resumes an
# existing emacs or starts a new one if none exists.
#
# One way or another, any arguments are passed to emacs to specify files
# (provided you have loaded `resume.el').
#
# This function assumes the emacs program is named `emacs' and is somewhere
# in your load path.  If either of these is not true, the most portable
# (and convenient) thing to do is to make an alias called emacs which
# refers to the real program, e.g. 
#
#        alias emacs=/usr/local/bin/gemacs
#
