When closing the old CMD and opening it again, this happens:
```julia

Of course, the environment variables are lost, when you close the CMD.
You need to set them permanently.

However from the shortcut created by Julia and entering the Shell mode is not achieved, as you can see in the attachment. What am I doing wrong?

It seems that you forgot to set the
https\_proxy
environment variable permanently. It’s missing in the Julia ENV dict.
Only
`"HTTP_PROXY" => "http://fproxy2.ecp.elco.co.il:8080"`
shows up.
You need
`"HTTPS_PROXY" => "http://fproxy2.ecp.elco.co.il:8080"`
also.
