Usage: @ <expression>
The @ command evaluates the given expression in "variable
expression" mode. This is the same mode used inside IF ()
and WHILE (). Normally it is used for variable assignment
as it provides a nicer syntax than ASSIGN does in some
contexts. These are the same thing:
@ foo = [bar]
assign foo bar
as are these:
@ foo = C
assign foo $C
