=

Assign a value to a variable. Evaluates expression given in response to second prompts and assigns it to the variable named at the first prompt. Type conversion is performed automatically within the numeric types (L4, I4, R4 and R8). The preparser also recognizes the alternate (and more familiar) form ``variable = expression''.

Examples:

    >> =<CR>
    Variable name? n<CR>
    Value or expression? 4<CR>
Other examples:
    >> = n 4<CR>
    >> n = 4<CR>
