inconsistencies with variables

does anyone have any experience with funny behaviour w.r.t. certain variables?

I am experimenting with a small stub and $3 doesn't want to hold onto its string value...replacing with (say) $9 fixes and behaviour is fine. Moving $3 to some other string, it starts behaving funny there too. (i.e. takes on int value 20 and 34).

I can work around it...
thanks,

The variable might be being used inside a function.
You should Push $3 then Pop $3 for when you want to save it and retreave it again.
