Your first example demonstrates something very interesting...

When one runs this ...

break on
$arg = "001"
? $arg
exit

one gets this ...

001

But - when one runs this ...

break on
; $arg="001" ; commented out
? $arg
exit

like this ...

kix32 test $arg="001"

one gets this ...

1

Looks like KiX does some sort of numeric string conversion but only on command line parameters !

Have we opened up a can of worms with here ?
