The 48G has various commands like GET, GETI, PUT, and PUTI for reading or writing list and matrix elements, and the indexes you use might come from other variables. But the RPL stack works a bit differently, and there isn't really the same STO IND concept. Rather, you put a name object on the stack, e.g. 'MYVAR', and then execute STO or RCL, which then uses that name. So you could have a name stored in a variable, or use various mechanisms to convert a string to a name and use that.
