shell script/export question

["bruce" <bedouglas earthlink net>]

hi..

i have the following simple script...

# .foo
# User specific environment and startup programs

JAVA_HOME=/opt/IBMJava2-141
export JAVA_HOME

-------------------

when i do a >./foo.sh, and then do a echo $JAVA_HOME, i don't see the
exported variable. foo.sh has the exe bit set (777). any idea what i'm doing
wrong. i'm using fc4. i'm basically trying to figure out how to create a env
var, and export the var.

thanks
