you can pass some variables by envoking
vmd -dispdev text ~/scripts/vmd/load.tcl -args abc.pdb abc.dcd

from your script you access these variables like this:

set pdbfile [lindex $argv 0]
set dcdfile [lindex $argv 1]
mol new $pdbfile type pdb first 0 last -1 step 1 waitfor all
mol addfile $dcdfile type dcd first 0 last -1 step 1 waitfor all top
