I need to pass environment variables to emacs
 
I'm trying to use environment variables to tell emacs where to find custom files.

I set FILE_LOCATION=<path> in ~/.bashrc, and 'echo $FILE_LOCATION' shows it correctly set.

However my .emacs cannot see it and it is missing in the emacs shell buffer.

How do I pass all environment variables to a sub-shell?

Thanks
Jim

I found it:
Code:
set -a
