is it possible to pass shell variables to emacs?

[address@hidden]

is there any possible way to do this? I would like to avoid making
them environment variables. I have a command-line script that when
called, sets all of these variables. I would like to use these
variables for example when finding a file.

Maybe there's some custom code I could put in my .emacs file. or I
could write a wrapper around emacs.

Thanks.
