## Import and Export
The interpreter has a set of variables referred to collectively as the "exports region" - these are intended for interfacing with the host. To access these from the scripts, use `import`, like so:
```
import variable;
print variable; //prints whatever literal was given "variable" as the identifier
```
Alternatively, to add something to the exports region, use `export`:
```
var variable = 1;
export variable;
```
In the event of naming conflicts, you can rename imported and exported variables using the `as` keyword:
```
//assume "table" exists in the export region
import table as newName;
export newName as table2;
```
## External Libraries
The host may, at it's own discretion, make external libraries available to the scripts. To access these, you can use the `import` keyword once again:
