Basically you can use push and pop to save and restore a variable..
So for example, if you need more than the 10 variables ($0-$9),
you can do things like:


StrCpy $0 "Poop!"

Push $0
; do something using $0, trashing it
Pop $0

; at this point, $0 is back to it's "Poop!" state.


... basically Push puts the string on the top of the stack,
and Pop removes it. Anyway, most people probably won't use
it anyway.
