You can do what you want with
do ("var"&i & " = integer(0)")
You would also need to declare all one hundred variables as globals.
But you are much much much better off using a list. For example
global gList
on doIt
gList = []
repeat with j = 1 to 100
gList[j] = 0
end repeat
end
... then to get the value of the 13th entry, do this
put gList[13]
... and to set the value of the 13th entry
gList[13] = "something new"
Lists are amazingly useful and powerful. Better than sliced bread!
