recall a var that has a space in its name

RE: recall a var that has a space in its name
One way to create strange variable names is by typing them as strings (e.g. "dB Volts") and then executing the S~N command which converts any string into a name or vice versa. Library 256 is built in but normally not attached, so if typing S~N doesn't work, that means that Library 256 isn't attached in your 50g, in which case you can still execute S~N by executing 256.04 MENU, then pressing the S~N soft key (F5).

There's a system flag which, if set, forces Library 256 to be attached at every warmstart. Anybody remember which flag that is? It's a good idea to set that flag, since it lets you easily use Library 256's very powerful commands in your programs.

EDIT: In case it isn't obvious, one way to include the name object 'dB Volts' in a program is "dB Volts" S~N, which doesn't put it literally into the program but does put it on the stack when the program runs, which is the actual goal anyhow.
