I have this particular dialog...

Code:
dialog example {
  title "Example!!!"
  size -1 -1 62 36
  option dbu
  text "Arbitrary Text!", 1, 2 2 60 8, center
  radio "Continue", 2, 2 10 33 10
  radio "Abort", 3, 35 10 27 10
  button "OK", 4, 2 22 58 12, ok
}


Now here's my problem. I can't get $dialog(example,example) to return any value.
I've tried "//echo -a $dialog()"
And I've tried "set %variable $dialog() | echo -a %variable"
But in both situations, the echo command fails because there is nothing to echo.

What am I doing wrong?
