I'm new to working with projectvars. I can't find the syntax to do what =
I need. I have a number of projectvars that contain lists of vertices:

show flr1.2.prmtr
[-412 56] [-172 56] [-172 296] [-412 296] [-412 56]=20

I have a projectvar that is a list of these lists:

show figlist
first.flr.prmtr  second.flr.prmtr  flr1.1.prmtr  flr1.2.prmtr  (I've =
added an extra space between the elements in this email only to make it =
easier to see the separate elements.)

Now, I want to access the value of the vertices lists by referencing =
figlist. I would expect one of the following to work. But as you can =
see, neither does:

show last figlist
flr1.2.prmtr

show thing last figlist
flr1.2.prmtr has no value

I've tried any number of other less likely prospects. I can't find the =
right thing. Does anybody know the secret here?

Thanks, Jeff

P.S. I'm going to be on the road for a few days, starting Saturday. =
Responses posted after Friday night I won't be able to get to for a =
while. So, please don't feel ignored. I'll definitely be back.
