Sorry, there is no equivalent, but if you're trying to save space then
you can do ""-><variable name>, since string variables take up the least
amount of space.  I've done this to temporarily free space that a matrix
takes up(when I don't need it of course:-).

I don't know why this doesn't work, but why not use:
 If E1>=1 and E1<=9
instead?

>randInt(1,3)->B

for the 85: int 3rand+1->B
for the 86: int (3rand +1->B

This takes up less space than randInt(1,3->B, and to work on the 86 MUST
be written with an opening parenthesis since implied multiplication, on
the 86, comes after the 'int'.
BTW, the closing parenthesis is not necessary at the end of any line or
right before a store arrow.

Could you resend it to ME UUEncoded, at unibomer@juno.com? Juno doesn't
accept attachments. Thanks.
