Ok, you need to check out the SetEnv command.  It allows you to set up
environment variables.  Check out page 8-73 (that's the page number in MY
manual anyway :-) for more complete syntax.  Also, even though the template in
the manual states this:

Template: NAME, LOCAL/S, GLOBAL/S, REMOVE/S, STRING/S

the actual template from the command says

NAME, STRING/F.

Go figure...
