you need to type "set FOO=bar" and then usually you want to do an "export
FOO" after that.
if you are using bash, and don't mind starting a habit that will bite you
if you ever wind up using another Bourne Shell, you can simplify this to
"export FOO=bar"
other that that, yes it really should be just that simple, as I don't see
any characters that are used in shell expansionin that string. To play it
safe you could wrap the contents in single quotes (e.g.; export FOO='bar')
