Obtaining the value of a variable defined by a string

    I have a list like this;

    (("H_cadsvl" "value" "discription") ("H_cadnet" "value" "discription"))

    Each first item in this list represents a variable name. I can set each
    variable like this (set (read variable) "value") but how can I obtain the
    value of (read variable") ?
