GeneralFedora -- environment variables Pin

LINUX-FEDORA -- environment variables..

QUESTION 1. This may sound like a dump question (okay,it is a dump question):

CATALINA_HOME=/usr/local/tomcat-4.1.30
APACHE_HOME=/usr/local/apache2
ANT_HOME=/usr/local/ant
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_05
J2EE_HOME=/usr/java/j2sdkee1.3.1
PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$J2EE_HOME/bin
CLASSPATH=.:$J2EE_HOME/lib/j2ee.jar:$J2EE_HOME/lib/locale

export CATALINE_HOME
export APACHE_HOME
export ANT_HOME
export JAVA_HOME
export J2EE_HOME
export CLASS_PATH

What does command "export" do? I found this:http://www.er.uqam.ca/nobel/r10735/unixcomm.html

export - place the value of a variable in the calling environment (makes it global). This is a shell builtin.

But don't quite get what it means...

QUESTION 2: I placed the above script in file /etc/profile so environment variables get loaded everytime you go into console mode by "CTRL-ATL-F1" -- BUT, is this equivalent to "System" environment variables in Windows? I notice that this script wasn't executed if console is launched from "menu>System Tools>Terminal" (launched from desktop menu)... how can I get around this?

THanks!
