Call me old fashioned, but to ask for this capability to save typing seems bizarre. <div><br></div><div>I'l like it, if as has been suggested it is easy to do, so that it is easier & more error free to implement a variable save and restore capability. I have a program in which some variables values need to be stored in a file, and restored on restart. I do this by by storing a text representation followed by the variable eg jim123:0000. This is then restored by getting the file & finding string jim23: & assigning the value after it to jim23 etc etc. It's not easy to do this for say 40 disparately named variables because the saves and restores have to be individually coded - with this capability it could be done, reliably, in a loop. <br>
