confusion with export
Hi,
I have written the following two scripts.

a.ksh --->

FPATH=/users/kushard
autoload b
b
echo "From a.ksh::" $aa

b --->

function b
{
typeset aa
aa="TRUE."
echo "From b::" $aa
export aa
}

But I cannot see the value of aa being populated in a.ksh.
Please let me know where I am wrong.


regards,
Dipankar.
