Hi,

e.g. when defining a variable like this:

	Source code
1	set(text, 123);

or explicitly like this:

	Source code
1	def(text, string, 123);

it will be a String internally.

But when doing an mathematical expression, then krpano interprets that String as Number
and the result of such call:

	Source code
1	trace(calc(1 + text));

will be

	Source code
1	124

( = 1 + 123)

And when using $variable that Interpretation will be avoided, then the variable will be used as String,
so this call:

	Source code
1	trace(calc(1 + $text));

will be result in

	Source code
1	1123

( = 1 + "123")

Best regards,
Klaus
