My bad. This is another script that is called by the script I have partially
quoted here ("main script"). It is in that script that I am able to access
the variable in question (as cited by you below).

That is correct. It throws an error if I try and access the variable from
the main script, because I try and use the value of that variable and for
some reason I can't retrieve it.

fn, a script. I hope that cleared things up. Please advise.
