Here's the problem:  I need to change a few environment variables (what
I would ordinarily do with a setenv command in the .cshrc file) in such
a way that an application opened under the workspace manager recognizes
the changes.

Here's the context:  I use TeX on the NeXT, and I have some of my own
fonts that I keep in a subdirectory of my home directory.  I need
TeXview to be able to find these fonts.  The environment variable in
question is TEXPKS -- I need to add my subdirectory to the path list. 
By putting the setenv statement in the .cshrc or .login files, the new
path doesn't register if I start TeXview under the workspace manager. 
However, if I start the Shell application and start TeXview from inside
it (by typing 'TeXview myfile.dvi &'), the environment variables are all
set properly.  How can I get the new path to show up under the workspace
manager?

Please *mail* responses to leathrum@melchior.dartmouth.edu.
