Exporting Environmental Variables

Is there a way for NCL to set an environmental variable, such that it could
be accessed by bash after NCL exits?

It seems like it has very short-term memory:

ncl 8> system( "export TEMP=hello; echo $TEMP")
hello
ncl 9> system( "echo $TEMP")
*[blank line]*

Thanks!
