[EquisMetaStock Group] Using a string variable in Metastock

["zenteknet" <zenteknet@xxxxxxxxx>]

Is there any way to define a string variable in Metastock. I looked
all over and can't seem to find any discussion of how to do it. For
example I want to define:

acquiringco:="IBM";
security(acquiringco,C);

but it doesn't like the syntax. How do I do this? Thanks very much.
