I have been trying to use ZGetVariable("exposure")
to get my current exposure.  It is not working properly.

In my ~/.zephyr.vars file I have the line

exposure = realm-announced

The function is supposed to return this, but it only returns
the system default, realm-visible.  The manual says
"If the variable is defined in the user's variables file, any
system default value is ignored."  

However, zctl DOES return the right value (which is read 
from ~/.zephyr.vars).

Any suggestions?

I'm using the following:

Version: $Id: zhm.c,v 1.44 90/02/09 17:10:11 jfc Exp $

Server protocol version = ZEPH0.2
Current server version = Zephyr Server $Revision: 3.20 $/MIPS

Thanks for your time.
