Unfortunately, you can not have "nested" symbols...just one and done.

I love symbols. I've been trying to figure out if a level of indirection is possible. Here's an example that both doesn't work and isn't' even syntactically correct, but hopefully will serve to illustrate what I'm trying to do: //SYM1 SET SYM1=VALUE1 //SYM2 SET SYM2=VALUE2 //TARGET SET TARGET=SYM1 //RESULT SET RESULT=&&TARGET (and end up with &RESULT being set to VALUE1 and not SYM1) I know it'll be tempting to ask "why?" but trust me, I have a good reason.
