Have a look at the SCOPE_* functions. To export a variable from a widget
program to the command line, you can do

(scope_varfetch(varname, /enter, level=1)) = internal_variable

where "varname" is the name the variable should have on the command
line. If you want to be sophisticated, you can check if that variable
already exists (to avoid overwriting) with something like

IF size(scope_varfetch(varname, level=1, /enter), /type) EQ 0 THEN ...

Good luck,
Benjamin
