    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. 

Here's a way to evaluate the dynamic variable:

    args (('args ^var' + ^i)) | sh -e

It may not be pretty, but it does write the desired value to standard
output.
