@@ Line 67: / Line 67: @@
 ```
+To get or set local or instance variables, you must pass the macro execution instance to the `getvariable` or `setvariable` command.  The instance is passed in to your script via the KMINSTANCE environment variable (v8.0.3+).
+```applescript
+set inst to system attribute "KMINSTANCE"
+tell application "Keyboard Maestro Engine"
+	set v to getvariable "LocalVar" instance inst
+	setvariable "LocalOut" instance inst to "FromAS"
+end tell
+v
+```
