beginner question: using 'set VAR=...'

[tek1]

Using Cygwin, I'm trying to run some .bat scripts that contain 'set 
VAR=....' statements.  However, after the script is run, those variables 
defined by the 'set' statement are not recognized (as environment 
variables).  These are variables that are to exist temporarily (i.e. during 
the session or time that the Cygwin window is open), so I do not want to 
put them in CYGHOME/cygwin.bat.

Any advice?

Thank you.
