In order to have a variable remembered when the user returns, check the option to retain the variable's value between sessions. If publishing to exe/cd, the variable will be saved to the machines registry. If publishing to html it will be stored in a cookie, and for AICC/SCORM it is saved to the student's suspend data.Be careful when publishing to html, AICC, and SCORM as there is a 4k limit for cookies and suspend data, which could be quickly reached if you let the student type in anything.
