IDL v8 not recognizing bash environment variable [message #75842]

Not sure I'm expressing this correctly in the subject line - this is
my problem: I have a code that ran fine under IDL7 that included the
line "sta_list = READ_ASCII("$SEADAS/local/stationfile.txt,"
TEMPLATE=stationtemplate). I just tried running the same code under
IDL8 and now get the error message

% READ_ASCII: File "$SEADAS/local/stationfile.txt" not found.

The file is most definitely where it should be. After doing some
experimenting, it seems IDL8 isn't getting any value for the $SEADAS
variable.

I hope someone can explain to me why not and how to fix it?

Thanks.
