I understand local variables are only for the current scope
and that when you do something like:

WINDOWNAME:#show @blah

it should refer to the @blah variable in the windowname scope

but if you are using local variables, shouldn't it use the current scope for a local variable and not the WINDONAME scope, since a local variable would never exist in that scope?

ex: Called from an alias in a different window, here using #show with a window named "Room" and a local variable $tme, I thought you should be able to do

Room:#show $tme

instead, to get the desired result you must do

#exec Room:#show $tme

This is a simple workaround

Is this the desired semantics, or a bug?

(I am using the latest 3.22)

Try #winexec, perhaps? Er, I think that's the command.

#EXECWIN, not #WINEXEC. ;)
