But what I think he is talking about is STORing the contents of the variable referred to in variablecontainingname TO myvar.
So for example:
var1= "john" &&/ referenced variable
vcn= "var1" &&/ this is variablecontainingname
STORE EVAL(vcn) TO var2
? var2
Try it. I just did and it works (using FPW 2.6a).
STORE (vcn) TO var2 &&/ this does not work, var2 then will contain "var1" instead of its contents.
