I cannot find anything in the documentation that could explain the below.

NULL

According to ?name  the character ? can be used in a name with the exception of beeing the first character.
Example:

> 

abc?:=2;
abc?

2

  

2

 (1)


Reentering the name in 2D

"abc"?""

abc

 (2)

In 2D the nane "abc"?"" does not seem to exist.

Trying now as above

"abc"?:=a:" abc"?""

abc^2

 (3)

returns an unexpected output.
Trying

"ab"?c:=b;" "

ab

 (4)

"a"?b:=c""

a

 (5)

seems to cut of everything that follows the question mark (including the question mark).
This could explain the output (3) as having been parsed as abc*abc.

``


The variable palette only lists the name entered in 1D.

What could explain the difference between 1D and 2D when "?" is used in a name.
