Secure environment variables

I'm having some trouble getting secure environment variables to work properly. For example, on this [1] build, the relevant part of the appveyor.yml file is

environment:
  global:
    # SDK v7.0 MSVC Express 2008's SetEnv.cmd script will fail if the
    # /E:ON and /V:ON options are not enabled in the batch script intepreter
    # See: http://stackoverflow.com/a/13751649/163740
    CMD_IN_ENV: "cmd /E:ON /V:ON /C .\\continuous-integration\\appveyor\\run_with_env.cmd"

    # See README for information on the token
    BINSTAR_TOKEN:
      secure: rzQaJp/nba5u2lYZ2hR7xiTenDw/1ye5CirIIspaTbM=
    binstar_token:
      secure: rzQaJp/nba5u2lYZ2hR7xrkIauvhO7M4P9XVr63a4GVR93oo5KRun7Mrnvg/L2bf

But tying to echo the variable (it's not actually sensitive, I'm currently just debugging).

ps: "echo %BINSTAR_TOKEN%"
ps: "echo %binstar_token%"

gives just the literal string "%BINSTAR_TOKEN%", or "%binstar_token%".

    If you want to use PowerShell then it should be (no need to call it twice - env vars are case-insensitive):

      - ps: "$env:BINSTAR_TOKEN"
    

    otherwise change to

      - echo %BINSTAR_TOKEN%
