For starts, you haven't told us which environment you're discussing.
Guessing that you're in a csh-type shell at the command prompt, there
are no "export" and "putenv" commands. You either should do some
reading of your shell's man page (esp. about the "setenv" command)
or switch shells to a sh-type shell.
You can probably learn your current shell with this command:
echo $0 or $SHELL
You might also want to read the man page for "chsh".
