Tried to get this to work with no luck:

#var scline {big|red|dog}
#loop 1,%numitems(@scline) {#var var %left(%item(@scline,%i),1);#show @@var}

tried this too
#forall @scline {#show @%left(%i,1)}
the screen in both of these just showed
@b
@r
@d

wanted to see what was in the vars.

Am I missing something, will try to find another way just thought you guys might know something about it.

That's not the correct syntax. If you want to use indirect evaluation and display a variable who's name is also a variable or function, the correct syntax is:

#SHOW @{%left(%i,1)}

or, more generally:

@{expression}

So in your first example, it would be #SHOW @{@var}
