Pass Variables Between Lessons

Not a perfect solution, but you can use the learner's browser cache (via JS localStorage) to store variables (with the learner's knowledge/permission) that can be accessed by another published SL file.
This allows you to talk between files. However, in the interests of security, I would not allow user-inputted text variables to be passed between files. Only variables the learner can't manipulate.
It's also important to let the learner know that clearing their cache will delete their stored info.
