Just curious... for what purpose? Unless you have explicitVariables turned
on, you don't need to predeclare your variables before you use them. That
said, if you *do* have explicitVariables turned on, you might be able to get
away with this:

  put "randomVariableName" into newVariableToCreate
  do "local" && newVariableToCreate

Although I haven't tried it...
