[ESS] Is there a good way to set shell variables before running S+6?

[A.J. Rossini]

I'm batting 0-10 on emails recently, so parse this appropriately -- 

check out the (setenv) lisp function prior to running M-x S , this
might help.  i.e. via a modified version of the S function or similar.

(i.e.   in the *scratch* or similar lisp buffers,  evaluate (  C-j at
the end of the line)
    (setenv "TEMP"  "C:\this")   or similar.

C-h f setenv  will provide some help

Rich's pointer might help, as well, but I'm not sure how exactly to do that one.
