echo $bogus
bogus=testit
echo After
echo $bogus
export bogus
grant at c70051-a:~/test > ./testenv.sh

When I just ran it and exported the env var, it didn't do anything to my
current shell, but when I did a "dot-space" before it, it worked. WTH?
I don't get why. I just swiped this off an example. I don't know why
it is this way.
