[for Alpha4 Core]

I'm looking for a shortcut to @def.

I tried to use the example in the Admin's Guide, but I think
I'm missing something: 
	;as $motd; server_name = "My New Server Name"

The way it worked for me was this way:
	@def $motd as $motd eval server_name = "My New Server Name";

If I didn't have @def available, how would I set any variable?

Frank
