Well, perhaps the manual isn't too clear on this point. If you use the
form "address something", the 'something' is taken as a literal string
and no variable substitution is performed. The answer is to use the form
"address value <expression>". For example:

address value 'TxEd'i
'LOA' a

should so the job.
