Read the java docs for Interpreter.  Java docs are
your friend as long as we're talking about hte same
thing.  You will be calling the scripts from your code
at some point, and you'll be instantiating an
Interpreter, unless some how you are using the
beanshell for your main application.  See the method
bsh.Interpreter.set, you'll set your objects before
you ever call eval or source.  Beyond that if you need
to have references to global objects or something from
multiple interpreters in different scripts you'll have
to carefully keep references in a static Map or some
other container so you can get to them.
