Yes, that's true -- and has been for a very long time now -- but you have
to understand what it means by "env variable."  They're TELNET environment
variables, not part of your shell!

It's also possible to write an exit program on the iSeries that reads
those environment variables and does something with them when your 5250
client connects.  There might be some interesting possibilities with that
-- though at the moment, I can't think of what they would be...
