If I set a variable in a script when the script ends will the variable's value remain stored somewhere for a script that is run later to use. Is this the default behavior or do I have to save the variable's value in a file somewhere?

The sort of variable i want to store is a Path to a folder. ie
set auftragFolder to choose folder with prompt "select Auftrag folder"


I want to keep the variable to use in a following script to be run by the user.

If the variable is to be used by another instance of the same script, you can declare it a property. If it is to be used by another script entirely, then store it in a file to be read.


Also i haven't found a command to prompt for text input from the user in a dialog box.

display dialog "prompt text" default answer "blah blah blah"

If you want the text input box to be blank, then it's

display dialog "prompt text" default answer ""
