I have a pretty elementary question.  Does anyone know of a way to 
dereference a variable starting in the first column of a line within a job?  
Typically, an exclamation point in column one is interpreted as a colon, and 
the CI does not recognize the string following it as a variable.

I am aware of the use of ECHO and input redirection in the case of a program 
requesting input:

ECHO !MYVAR  >MYFILE
RUN MYPROG  <MYFILE

Does anyone know another trick?

Thanks,
John Clogg
