Dear All,

Are there any commands supported in rhino where the javascript can output
the value of a variable?.

Maybe I am just too much of a newbie and some concept is missing, however
this is what I want to do, I want to compile a javascript program into java
and I want the javascript program to output some values, for example:

x = 1;
y = 2;
z = x + y;
document.write(z);

or

x = 1;
y = 2;
z = x + y;
alert(z);

both compile ok but I get runtime errors:

Exception in thread "main" ReferenceError: "document" is not defined.
