Using variables (an advanced base-map function)

The use of variables in a base map is optional. Variables are assigned to menu
items in a base map; and although variables serve several functions, many variable
functions are used in conjunction with each other. For example, it is necessary to
assign values to menu items before you begin to exercise any of the other variable
functions. Once you have assigned variables to menu items you can begin to take
advantage of other variable functions. For instance, you can set variables so that
the user is prompted for specific information during the installation process. This
function enables you to customize the installation process in two ways: by affecting
the actually words used for menu choices during the installation process; and by
affecting the menu flow during the installation process.
