Hi Les, probably a parameter, which gets updated in interp::synch There are a couple of GET_EXTERNAL_FOO functions defined in canon, that get called from the interpreter. So the sanest path imo is read the variable from task, then use a canon function to set a canon variable, and have another canon function that gets called from interp to query that. I think you can even call the GET_EXTERNAL_* function from read_x(), there are a couple of functions where it's done just like that.
