17: <H2><A NAME="57"></A>6.4. Variables</H2>
18: <p><b>Variables</b> hold simple strings. They are global and come
19: in two types: <b>temporary</b> and <b>permanent</b>. Permanent
20: variables persist over multiple invocations of the chat script,
21: while temporary variables are forgotten each time the script
22: completes.</p>
23: <p>Variables are specified with a dollar sign, then a letter, followed
24: by letters, digits, and underscores. If the first letter is upper
25: case the variable is permanent; otherwise it is temporary. The
26: variable name may be optionally enclosed in curly braces.</p>
27: <p>Examples:
28: <blockquote><code>
29: <pre>
30: $initString
31: $My_variable_234
32: ${i_am_safely_followed_by_a_letter}
33: </pre>
34: </code></blockquote>
