Windows environment variables work differently than those in 
Unix/Linux. In Linux a new process inherits the initial set of 
environment variables from its parent process, in Windows a new 
process gets a copy of the globally set system and user 
environment variables. This means you can't "bring up all the 
environment variables" in Linux because every process may have a 
different set of environment variables.
