+  val (_, ctxt1) = Variable.add_fixes [\"x\", \"y\", \"z\"] ctxt0

+
+  In Line 3 we fix the variables @{term x}, @{term y} and @{term z} in context @{text ctxt1}.
+  The function @{ML_ind export_terms in Variable} from the @{ML_struct Variable} can be used 
+  to ``transfer'' terms between contexts. Transferring means to turn all (free) variables that
+  are fixed in one context, but not in the other, into schematic variables. In our example
+  we are transferring the term @{text "P x y z"} from context @{text "ctxt1"} into @{text "ctxt0"}
+  which means @{term x}, @{term y} and @{term z} become schematic variables (as can be seen 
+  by the leading question mark). Note that the variable @{text P} stays a free variable, since 
+  it not fixed in @{text ctxt1}; it is even highlighed, because @{text "ctxt0"} does not
+  know about it. Note also that in Line 6 we had to use the function @{ML_ind singleton}, 
+  because the function @{ML_ind export_terms in Variable} normally works over lists of terms.
