Here's an extract from a script that we often use as a wrapper for rsh;
it shows the basic method for exporting environment variables to the
remote system.  "/usr/5bin/env" may need to be changed to simply "env"
for remote systems other than 4BSD with BRL System V emulation installed.

exec rsh `basename $0` /usr/5bin/env PATH="$PATH" TERM="$TERM" \
	sh -c "\"$*\""
