You guys don't understand what I'm asking.  I know I can't pass
variables 'backwards' (except via a file), but when I export, the
variable will be available  in *subsequent* shells but only in the
same xterm:

	pts/2 HP-y5--5-Debian1 root /aWorking/Zsh $ export trash=TRASH

	pts/2 HP-y5--5-Debian1 root /aWorking/Zsh $ zsh

	pts/2 HP-y5--5-Debian1 root /aWorking/Zsh $ echo $trash
	TRASH

... export does what it should do, but *only* in the same xterm.
If I now go to another xterm, $trash is not set:

	pts/9 HP-y5--5-Debian1 root /boot/Clone/y8--5-Debian2 $ zsh

	pts/9 HP-y5--5-Debian1 root /boot/Clone/y8--5-Debian2 $ echo $trash
