To Aegis Users:

I have here an Aegis script that prompts a user for a number which 
is used in part to create variables "dynamically". These variables are 
created by concatenating a string prefix to the loop counter number.
The problem is that I can't evaluate it in the same  manner. 
It appears to be assigning values into the variables since I am able to
print out the variable if I explicitly type out the name of the
desired variable. 
--------------------------Aegis script------------------------
#!/com/sh
read -prompt "Enter number of elements:" -type integer num
args ((^num))
FOR n := 0 to ((^num))  
  args ((^n))
  "var^n" := ^n
ENDFOR  
#Check that other "var"s contain expected values. Assuming you entered
#a number greater or equal to 3.
args (("This will print out the first element "+ ^var0))
args (("This will print out the third element "+ ^var3))
#args (("This will print out the third element "+ ^var100))
read -prompt "Enter desired element:" -type integer i
#
# How do you print the value of these 'dynamic' variables ??
#These two statement print the string "vari" where i=number you entered.
#
args (("var^i"))
args ((var^i))
