I don't believe you can expose variables that were initailized in a
separate-file ARexx macro.  The ways that I can think of doing it
would be to put the values you want to modify on the clip list or 
to return a string from your procedure that contains rexx instructions
to set the variable values.  The caller can then interpret the
returned string to set the variable values.
