[ic] Holding and then retrieving a variable.

[Glen and Rosanne Eustace]

I have a some code which includes the following, I thought it used to
work in MV4 but it certainly doesn't in IC.  How is one supposed to do
this ?

[calc]
   ...
   $MyFreeItems .= [item description] . "\n";
   ...
   [set myfreeitem]$MyFreeItems[/set]
[/calc]

in another part of etc/report I had
[scratch myfreeitem]

I get the literal '$MyFreeItem' in the order not the list I had build
up.
