It isn't, and there is no real way to get around this. What I usually
do when I want to pass something to a remote shell is to explicitly set the 
environment variable in the command, something like (using /bin/sh as the 
login shell):

rsh silicon "VARIABLE=$VARIABLE; export VARIABLE; command-line"
