That wouldn't work. VEE could set up env vars alright, but only the process that wrote them and children of that process would be able to read them.
Probably the easiest thing to do is to just write a file in the root containing the information you want to pass along.

Your suggestion makes the directory name available to the Vee
application but I need to make it available to other, non-related
applications. For info, I intend for these other applications to write
data to files in a sub-directory of the Vee application directory.
