While it's clear that you can switch back and forth between environments at the user level, and define some syntax to specify which one to use, it's not so clear how to make the facility available to user and program in a clear, well-defined manner without re-writing every program ever written. The problem is how giving the user the environment he wants whenever he is active without simultaneously blasting existing programs whenever he changes his path, not defining shell command syntax. --bob-- P.S. With multiple window support, or job control a la "csh" you can have environments running simultaneously anyway. Just start up a new shell, define your new enviroment, and visit at will.
