I have a question concerning the awk utility.  Does anyone know if
there is a way to pass awk variables out as shell variables on a 
line-by-line basis.  What I mean is the following:

1.  awk reads in a line of NF fields
2.  some of those fields get passed out as shell variables
3.  These variables are operated on (i.e. put into certain files).
4.  Awk reads another line and so on...
 .
 .
 .
I know how to get shell variables into awk but not visa versa.  Any
help would be greatly appreciated.
