local variables aren't carried over from alias to alias, even if one calls the other :tongue: so, if in your alias named VADD you want to modify the value of a variable that is local to the parent alias, you'll find it's not possible :s unless you return a piece of data to the parent instructing it to declare the variable locally

for example:

Code:
alias VADD {
........
 return set $(%var %var $+,) %newdata
}


then in your parent alias call $($vadd(),2) as a command

as hixxy said, /set first looks for local variables to change the value of, then moves on to global ones if none is found. this should be just what you need shocked
