variables from new window after window.open()

say i have an variable in a window that has opened up another window.
how would i access the variable in the original window from the newly
created window?

i found a javascript mini-faq which addressed how to access form
elements in the original window from the newly created window, but
that's not what i want to do. i want to be able to access variables.

any help would be appreciated - thanks! :)
