Comment:

why sometimes I can use:
- export $VARIABLE=value
(ie: export $HOME=/users)
and some other times:
- export VARIABLE=value
(export HOME=/users)
or:
- export VARIABLE="value"
(export="/users")
NB: Are the 3 ways ok, yes or no?
Are they valid for both Korn and Bourne Shells?

On C Shell, how come it's sometimes :
- setenv
and sometimes
- set variable=(value)
Thanks
