This is an optional setting, which permits the Administrator to define a variable (var) for the script 
and either be able to use ESM functionality (i.e., launch defined custom user messages or 
hyperlink; switch to a defined location or firewall setting) or have the freedom to change the value 
of a variable without changing the script itself.
