I never heard my mom say stfu :-D But you are really tempting her ;-)

Ah, in that case it is always wise to say that, and also what the
restrictions are.

I prefer using a set function.

No, as you could have seen.

how to assign to var *in* module from script
With my solution the assignment happens *in* the module, as you
requested. The function makes it possible to do it *from* your script.

You wanted it *in* your module :-D.

You made it :-D. I assumed you were writing your first module ;-)

I hope you teach you how to write clearer questions next time ;-)

Maybe the module is available on line? You can provide a link. Or make
it available on line. However, in this case you could have written your
question like: I have a module I am not allowed to modify, and it has a
variable, how can I access it?.

You want help, not I :-D.

Look up the definition of the m part and compare it to the s part ;-)
