Thank you all for the responses. BTW, I did RTFM and the pages said
nothing explicitly between the two.

Original Question
-----------------
Kinda academic question but what is the difference between the 'set' and
'env' commands. Typing in either command (without parameters) spits out a
bunch of environment variables. Is there a difference?

Answer
------
"set" gives both environment and shell variables. "env" only gives
environment variables, which are passed along to child processes.
