On Alpha VMS you would call STARLET.SETENV to change a console
environment variable, but most likely that is not what you had
in mind. The notion of "environment variables" is tied to the
operating system you use, and for VMS the C language construct
can be either a logical name or a DCL symbol, as I recall.
The bottom line is, for operating system specific discussions
you really need to specify your operating system in order to
get the answer you want.
