But shouldn't Shell+ shells spun off from Startup inherit the ENV vars  from 
the parent shell?  I mean shell/window pairs started up in the Startup  file.  
If not, then maybe someone (?) could spruce up Shell+ to inherit the  
environment vars.  That means more RAM for each running shell, and all that  implies, 
but it should be there already in Shell+.
 
Whenever Shell+ creates another shell proc, it should copy its env table  
into the new proc's.
Am I missing something, like this is harder than I think?

ISTR that RMA is oriented towards producing intermediate .R object files,  
that have to be linked by RLink into an executable.  Also RMA has limited  macro 
capabilities, since it's intended to be used behind C's c.prep macro  
expander.
 
But none of the differences should affect the PATH resolution issues.
