Boleslav gave you an example of setting the value in another face,
that may be all you need. I'll just add that the layout itself is just
another face, so the concept of "passing data to a layout" implies
that maybe you should think about defining an interface between the
different parts of your program, so you can share data in a consistent
manner. A simple way is to have COLLECT-DATA and DISPLAY-DATA
functions for each layout, but you may also want to define a shared
structure. Try to avoid referencing faces directly, in an unstructured
manner, throughout your code; isolate the places where data is
exchanged between faces and variables or the data store. In a small
app, it won't hurt you too badly, but as your apps grow, it can make
maintenance a lot easier.
