[2.14] Funny local variable bugs
 
Enter at the command line
Code:
$var="abc"
It gets sent to the mud.
Enter at the command line
Code:
#EXEC {$var="abc"}
Pops up a parsing error of invalid local variable.

This is because the command line is trying to parse your string argument to #EXEC, which is asking to evaluate $var, which doesn't exist. If you want #EXEC itself to handle the $var, then you need to put it into quotes:

#EXEC "$var=""abc"""

So this is working correctly.
