Referring to a variable in a roundabout way...

If a field contains the name of a variable gMyNumber, how can I place  
something into that variable circuitously, referencing it not  
directly, but via its name residing in the field?

Example:
Put 54 into (variable (word 1 of field 1)), where word 1 of field 1  
contains the name of a global variable gMyNumber.

I don't know if that makes sense, but I hope it does.

Thanks,
Mark
