(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'.

;;; Commentary:

;; Having loaded this code you can set the region by holding down the
;; shift key and move the cursor to the other end of the region.  The
;; functionality provided by this code is similar to that provided by
;; the editors of Borland International's compilers for ms-dos.

;; Currently, s-region-move may be bound only to events that are vectors
;; of length one and whose last element is a symbol.  Also, the functions
;; that are given this kind of overlay should be (interactive "p") 
;; functions.

;; If the following keys are not already bound then...
;; C-insert is bound to copy-region-as-kill
;; S-delete is bound to kill-region
;; S-insert is bound to yank

;;; Code:
