GEL: Is it possible to modify an application variable via GEL without using the slider?

Hello CCS Champs!!

Is there a way to symbolically  access a variable in the application using GEL.  I am not looking for anything fancy, just would like to be ableto read and write a variable.

I have gone through the slider example in the CCS documentation.  However, this requires the use of a separate dialog box and specifying the value of the value using the slider interface.  I just need a simple single variable that I have access by its name...

Can someone please advice?

Thanks,

Krishna
