Problem

Symptoms: Using the {ASSIGN} command in a 5.1 macro if I use the syntax...

{ASSIGN}test~(801)~

my variable will type out "801" not "(801)". If I put in a space before and after the parenthesis then it will type out the "(801)". I don't know if this is a problem or the way its supposed to work. Solutions: WordPerfect 5.1 allows nested expressions in macros. When you assign "(801)" to a variable, it automatically assumes it is a mathematical expression -- which is simply "801". When you introduce a space into the expression, it is recognized as text.
