For the life of me, I have tried innumerous ways to get this to actually show the -value- of the variable, and yet, it doesn't seem to be working.

Combat/tempelm = %expand( %concat( "@Smoking/", %concat( @curchar, "ClassS/pelm")))
Combat/tempsku = %expand( %concat( "@Smoking/", %concat( @curchar, "ClassS/psku")))
Combat/tempval = %expand( %concat( "@Smoking/", %concat( @curchar, "ClassS/pval")))
#ECHO Elm pipe: @Combat/tempelm Skullcap pipe: @Combat/tempsku Valerian pipe: @Combat/tempval
#ECHO Focus: %if( %item( %concat( "@Combat/", %concat( @curchar, "Settings")), 1)=1, Yes, No) Focus: %if( %item( %concat( "@Combat/", %concat( @curchar, "Settings")), 2)=1, Yes, No)

Originally, I had the whole "%expand(.." where the variables "@Combat/temp***" are now, but even then, it would just echo as "@Smoking/WingerClassS/pelm", and not show the value. I've tried several things, none of which seem to be working. I know it has to be -something- simple, because otherwise I'd have gotten it. Sorry to bother you all, again.

PS I even tried it without the "%expand()" function. No good.

Place the %concat(...) within %eval() and leave off the %expand
See if that works.

Combat/tempelm = @pelm
#VAR tempelm @pelm {_nodef} {Combat}

If it's necessary to specify the path (usually it's not)
Combat/tempelm = @{Smoking/@{curchar}ClassS/pelm}
#VAR tempelm {@{Smoking@{curchar}ClassS/pelm} {_nodef} {Combat}

Didn't test any of this. I believe your approach is flawed, but I'll address that in one of your other topics.
