## SetEnv

`SetEnv` `variable` `value`

Set an environment variable to a new value, similar to the shell's export or setenv command. The `variable` and its `value` are inherited by processes started directly by fvwm. This can be especially useful in conjunction with the FvwmM4 module. For example:

    SetEnv height HEIGHT

makes the FvwmM4 set variable HEIGHT usable by processes started by fvwm as the environment variable $height. If `value` includes whitespace, you should enclose it in quotes. If no `value` is given, the variable is deleted.
