How To Set Enviorment ?
I use /bin/ksh
As we know that if we export an enviorment in command terminal, then the enviorment can be used in that termial , it can not take effect in other terminals .
How Can I export an enviorment in a terminal , and the enviorment can take effect in other terminals ?

As a user, you can't alter environments other than your current, and any child processes. What you can do is alter your $HOME/.profile file (since you're using ksh), which allows you to automatically set variables, among other things, each time you log in.
