Convenince labels added to the top of each file to assist in creating
index-type help files for things like the XML editor screen (where
there's nothing to hook help to).

\label{Variables_in_the_Text_Block}

Once you've defined variables in the \textbf{Script}, you can use them in
the \textbf{Text Block}. For example, using the previous three-line script
we've created so far, you can place the following in the \textbf{Text Block}:

\begin{lyxcode}
See~the~3:~\$variable<br~/>

See~the~string:~<b>\$stringVar</b><br~/>
\end{lyxcode}

\end{figure}
If you save that and hit \textbf{View}, you should get what you see in figure
\ref{Result of Variables in the Text Block Figure}. Note how the {}``\$variable''
was turned into a 3, and the {}``\$stringVar'' was turned into {}``I have
a variable with the value 3.''
