only happens when you forget the "="

here is what i have found out....

1. you can't forget the = when setting a var from the command line, you get loop-o-death

2. you can't set a var to = "" from a command line, you can only do this from inside a script. Setting a var to be "" from a command line is the same as setting the var to not equal anything at all, or the default value of 0.

now here is a weird one...

use the following code "test.kix"

code:

---

break on
? val("$arg")
? $arg

---

run with the following command lines

U:\>kix32 test $arg="001"

1
1

the $arg was only set a numeric value, but...

U:\>kix32 test $arg="001a"

1
001a

$arg is now a string!

weird!
