Dollar Sign Variables

So if I see an egregious typo, like:


putt myVar into someOtherVar


then I do what you do.


But you never, really never, had to follow the contents of a variable while stepping through a script? Never mind when debugging due to an error, but rather just to see if your plan was sound?


I remember in the movie "Amadeus", when Salieri was told by Mozart's wife that he made no fair copies of his work, and Salieri, crushed, realized he simply wrote down "the music he heard in his head".

Dunno. Managed it for about 39 years without one.

And RR/LC for the last 12 years.

As I said earlier: every time I run a script and it has a problem the 
scriptEditor opens up with a jolly yellow blob exactly where the problem is,
and I "piss about" until it stops doing that.
