After some playing around, I found that "set CLASSPATH" doesn't work
inside of QShell. In fact, the set command with a parameter doesn't do
much of anything (without parms it shows the current list of environment
variables).


It does so work! In fact it works exactly as designed. Welcome to the crud we call Unix. set does set the environment variable **BUT** it doesn't make it visible. If you want to use the variable you have to export it. Most people simply use:
export -s CLASSPATH='whatever'
to set the variable and make it usable in one step.

Note that the behaviour of set differs depending on which shell is active. Thankfully OS/400 supports only one of these things (unless you count PASE or Linux in a partition).
