Hi Jim,

I spent a few days examining the variable part.
This is the result.

Speed-up working with variables

for a = 0 to 10000000
b=a:c=b:d=c:e=d:f=e:g=f:h=g:i=h:j=i:k=j:l=k
b=a:c=b:d=c:e=d:f=e:g=f:h=g:i=h:j=i:k=j:l=k
b=a:c=b:d=c:e=d:f=e:g=f:h=g:i=h:j=i:k=j:l=k
b=a:c=b:d=c:e=d:f=e:g=f:h=g:i=h:j=i:k=j:l=k

Fix error (array assign)

dim a(1000)
b[]=a[]

Speed-up array assign (copy array over existing one)

dim a(1000000)
for x = 1 to 1000
b=a
next x

Speed-up list assign and make this operation safe for OnError situation

Fix wrong variable name in error message when a REF variable is used

a=ref(b)
print a

Before ('b' instead of 'a'):

ERROR on line 2: Variable 'b' has not been assigned a value.

Add an explicit error message when a REF variable is involved

a=ref(b)
print a

Output:

ERROR on line 2: Variable 'a' refers to an unassigned variable.

Add REF variable name into error messages

Variable 'x' refers to a non-existent variable.
Circular reference in variable 'x'.

Another important thing is that variables are checked if they are not assigned when they are used, not when they are set. This allows the variable name to be displayed correctly in error messages.
So far Convert.cpp does all the work and it did pretty well. But it cannot handle variables accessed by REF variables because it gets only the final variable, not the initial one (REF).
