Hi Richard,
Variables or commands/function names have to start with a letter, 
though they can contain numbers. Numbers can't contain letters 
(except for the hex variety). Parsing the string "s800" gives a valid 
variable/command/function name. Parsing "800s" gives a valid number, 
with an "s" left over.
Does that sound like a reasonable explanation for the behaviour?
