While I've got your brains working it seems like a good time to re-ask
a question that never got answered before.

There is no hook in rc to have something done when a child shell is
started.  (like ksh's ENV variable)  Has anyone come up with a way to
do something like this?  What inspired this is firing off a new xterm
running rc and wanting to set certain things.  (stty, etc.)  You can do
some of the stty type stuff, but not all of it, using command line
options, or you can make every xterm call rc as a login shell which has
other problems.  It seems like this is something which needs a good
general purpose solution.  Any ideas?
