Um, we had this discussion a few months ago.  I'll just reprise the
highlights....

OK, the shell that runs the STARTUP script is started by cc3go (or
sysgo) and then that shell goes away.  The /term shell is not a child
of it, so it doesn't inherit the shell+ internal vars.

However, on startup a shell+ shell looks for a file called
s.t.a.r.t.u.p (or something like this)  This file is interpeted by the
shell, rather than a child shell like a regular script.  You can set
variables like path and prompt in it.

The exact details are left for someone to read the shell+ docs for.
