These answers are based on the latest beta releases.
You can set variables like this:
SetEnv xx dan
You can then use variables like this:
Echo $[xx]
The square brackets are required.

Module FvwmCommandS
Then from the command line or a script, you can do:
fork> FvwmCommand 'SetEnv xx dan'
fork> FvwmCommand 'Echo $[xx]'
which put this on stderr:
[FVWM][Echo]: dan

Personally, I like the window manager to be invisible, I don't even
run the pager, but as you pointed out, Fvwm is highly configurable
so we all get what we like.
