[Framers] using variables

[Lin Sims]

Hey Patrick,

As far as I know, there is no way to make a single variable have two
different values in the same file, and if you insert two separate variables
in a table title, they'll both show up for every page that title is
displayed on.

Some of the scripters might have a different answer for you. :)
