Where's the fun in that!
Seriously though, if you don't know the name of the global (I know
this is a stretch, but just for interest), can you do this?:
(the globals)[symbol("myvariables" & nextvar)] = "some stuff"
where nextvar might be an integer? Actually, I just tried it, and it
does work. The above line would give you a new variable called
myvariables1 (or whatever nextvar appends), and it does contain the
text "some stuff".
