Can variables be put into a list and then referred to as items in that
list? I'd like to be able to do the following:

on foobar
  global G1,G2,G3
  put "G1,G2,G3" into myList
  put 77 into item 2 of myList
end foobar

I'd like the value of G2 to be set to 77. Unfortunately, all the above
does is replace G2 with 77 in myList. Being able to do something like
this would be an elegant solution to a scripting problem I have.
Anyone know how to do something like this?

Thanks, Keith Conover
