Okay Here's my first question
 
It may be I am rusty or that it's late, this seems easy but I am haveing a bit of trouble with it.

#TRIGGER {.(%d)} {#var 1 2; #sh @1}

It's a simple test to see if:
1) I can create a variable named "1"
2) If it can be assigned information

What I see on screen is " @1 "
No variable is created
I am hoping I wrote it wrong.

I know I can create the var manually, but again I can't seem to change it's info.
Now if I change it to this: #TRIGGER {.(%d)} {#var a 2; #sh @a}
It works just fine and I can change the 2 to anything.

Anything would help, Thanks

you cannot have a variable name that starts with a number

Yup the above statement is true, it does not work in Cmud.
However it does work just fine in Zmud.

One of the growing pains, but hardly a game stopper, especially since db variables can now go to any depth.

Think like this... % is child and @ is parent. When starting a line everything starts with a #, so if it goes anywhere past the #(Parent Command) it is a %(Child) function.

Example: #VAR variable %clip

Takes the VAR command and makes its value the clipboard by using the %clip function.

Variable usage is just the same. The variables written in the CODE(Parent) are primary to the secondary variables being adopted (child). So by example:

#VAR captureVAR %1

And to show it would be ...

#SHOW @captureVAR
or
#SHOW %1

%1-%99 are Predefined Variables.
