As a follow up, I'm not sure I understand why you need to see Euphoria's variables. For example:

a = string_exec("a+b") 

The code that builds the string "a+b" obviously thinks there are variables called a and b, because it built a string expression containing those variables. But how does the code know about them?

It might not know about them. Do you have the variable TheSecondCowThatJoeBought?

Is an expression evaluator what you're after? Note that you can inquire about variables, and call functions, but you can't actually extend the current application by adding new variables and functions.

What if you were in the 3rd grade, and i offered to teach you a new trick: how to calculate the average age of Joe's cow herd, but you are unable to learn new procedures or functions or variable names?
