As well as the console having variables, applications can have variables which we can read (but not write) from the console:
connect app3 other-warrant.xml # Connect to a new application echo $app3.somevar # See the value of its "somevar" variable set myvar=$app3.somevar # Set a local variable to its value
In the lines above, $app3.somevar should be read as $ plus app3.somevar. It has nothing to do with the console variable $app3.
