You are asking it to print literal text, not the result of an
expression. Try running this (as a standalone program):

include misc.e
integer theval
theval=8
puts(1,"<input type\"hidden\" name=\"hiddenvariable\"
value=theval>\n\n")
puts(1,"<input type\"hidden\" name=\"hiddenvariable\"
value=sprint(theval)>\n\n")
puts(1,"<input type\"hidden\" name=\"hiddenvariable\"
value="&sprint(theval)&">\n\n")
printf(1,"The value of %s is %d\n",{"1+1",1+1})

PS Just to muddy the waters a bit, if "theval" was say a javascript or
somesuch variable, you _would_ output its alpha name from the Eu
program, but this is an Eu variable. That might be something you have
seen which threw you..
