A script runs in a fresh environment (although you can
export variables to that environment).  If you look in
/etc/profile, you will see some variables are exported
(i.e. any scripts you call will contain those variables).
I've never tried exporting aliases, but I'm guessing it
will work.

It's not a matter of time.  Steven has no interest in
SVGAlib for BL3 (which was designed to use X for graphics).
BL1 was designed to use SVGAlib for graphics.

Cheers,
Steven
