Public bug reported:

I have corrected two errors in the text below. Just paste what I got
below over what is in there now.

Using Variables in Mudlet

One of the major design goals in Mudlet was to integrate scripts and
variables as seemlessly as possible. The usage of variables in Mudlet is
distinctly different from the other major clients, as native Lua
scripting has been integrated into Mudlet from the ground up. As scripts
are so closely intertwined with the core of Mudlet, variables do not
need any special treatment as in other clients. If you define a variable
in any given script in Mudlet, be it a trigger, a button, an alias key,
an event handler, a free function, etc. It can be used from within any
context without any special getVariable() type of function or any
special variable symbols, such as @myVar etc.. In Mudlet all variables
are native Lua variables. Each session (connection) runs in its own
dedicated Lua interpreter. Consequently, all scripts are compiled into
the same Lua interpreter and thus their code runs in the same variable
space.
