The only way it seems to work is when I explicitly execute an export. I can do this using bash easily, but what about ash (/bin/sh) or any other cygwin program (perhaps ones started outside of bash).

I need to run some programs that use this value to determine the display characteristics. I have set it to 50 in the system environment in windows, but echo $LINES says 25.
