Korn shell scripting

Friend of mine just posted this gibberish on one of our game related messageboards. I told him I would ask around cuz I'm such a good friend.

What does it mean and what's the answer?

<---------------------------------------------------->
This is going to be a VERY basic question, but I cant get the damn syntax right.

Script A. Script B.

Script A calls Script B.

I want to pass a variable's values from script B to script A. I know I do this by doing

echo $variable

Now how do I retrieve that value in script A? In order to get some Unix functions to work, I have to use echo in another part of script B. I do NOT want that value in script A.

any idea?

I saw some code that look like

variable= `script B "var1 {var2_string}"`

that wont work if I have more than one echo in script B. What do I do?
<---------------------------------------------------->

Thanks in advance.
