Makes sense (timing...the 4th dimension how it all is non-intuitive).
So, my Drupal function is now
function _make_block() {
if (isset($_SESSION['test'])) {
drupal_set_message('setting');
$settings = array(
'mymodule' => array(
'name' => $_SESSION['mymodule_name'],
'total' => $_SESSION['mymodule_total']
)
);
drupal_add_js($settings, 'setting');
drupal_add_js(drupal_get_path('module', 'mymodule)
.'/mymodule.js', 'module', 'header', FALSE, FALSE);
$block = 'test';
}
return $block;
}
Not sure whether the second drupal_add_js call should be of type module
or inline at this point. The contents of my js file are
//<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://www.mydomain.com/mystuff.js";></script>
$(function() {
var settings = Drupal.settings.mymodule;
myfunction(settings.name,settings.total);
});
I commented out the reference to the other js file within my .js file
for now. I guess I'll need to handle it with another drupal_add_js call.
However, I'm still getting only
<script type="text/javascript"
src="/sites/all/modules/_custom/mymodule/mymodule.js?1290973249"></script>
but nothing that's in it appears on the page. I simply get the divs for
the test block and the word 'test' as its content.

The problem is likely order of code running. Settings won't have been
read in yet. You need to use jquery's s ready() function. IMO you should
put this directly into your test.js file and not embed inline javascript
at all. If your javascript is going to do a .write() or something, you
are best off using a<div> that will be replaced. So at the bottom of
your test.js, something like this:
// $(function() { }) is a synonym for $.ready().
// This ensures that the code is not executed until the page is rendered.
$(function() {
var settings = Drupal.settings.mymodule;
myfunction(settings.name,settings.total);
});
