Unfortunately, the Problem ist real. I tried a simple macro with Auto Tools and it is the Same behaviour. It gives "Hellos" as Toast.
For sure, I just renamed the variables. But it is easy to fall into that Pit.
hi,
When using KWGT->Set variable MD Variables are mit correctly identified. If you have two local vars, pres and press, and enter %press as Input for KWGT, you get the value of pres with and s appended instead of the value of press.
