The problem is because TeX (the version I use) uses a Manx C way of doing
environment variables and the set/setenv type commands that are probably
built into the shell you're using do not set the same global environment
variables.  One trick you could use is the do an alias such as:

	alias set tex:c/set []

Or something similar so that you override (hopefully your shell would
allow this) the built-in commands.
