To restore FrameMaker to its defaults, close the application, delete
or rename maker.ini, and restart.

Unfortunately, I am still unable to edit user variables. It seems that this dumb change I made was to FrameMaker (version 9, p255) and not to the actual document. I looked in the maker.ini file to see if there was a setting I could change and revert back to its original configuration but I didn’t see anything related to variables. I also tried replacing the maker.ini file with a backup but that didn't work either. I did find a setting for variables in the mif2rtf.ini file , and changed it to ConvertVariables=No but again, that didn’t change anything. I then completely uninstalled FrameMaker and reinstalled it but it is still keeping my original configuration and will not let me edit my user variables. Does anyone know how I can reset Frame to its original default configuration or at least get the option to edit my user variables back?
