Variable Names

A variable name can have one of the formats:
1. parameter-name
2. element-name->attribute-name
3. command-name->attribute-name
4. beam%sequence-name->attribute-name
5. table(table-name,..,..)
The first format refers to the value of the global parameter "parameter-name", the second and third formats refer to the real attribute "attribute-name" of the element "element-name", or the command "command-name". NUmber four is specific to beams belonging to a particular sequence (for details see sequences and beams). Number five allows extraction of variables from existing tables, as specified in table access.
