Bill,

If I understand you correctly, then yes you can set global variables for
a set of macros. You define the variables at the beginning of the macro
outside any of the installable submacros.  An example:

var myNewVariable = "Hi Bill";

macro "Read [1]"{
        Dialog.create("Enter Text");
        Dialog.addMessage("Enter some text");
        Dialog.addString("Text:", myNewVariable, 12);
        Dialog.show();
        myNewVariable = Dialog.getString();
}

macro "Write [2]"{
        print(myNewVariable);
}

Cheers

Mike
