I didn't think that parenthesis in a message box would affect anything, however it seems to be doing that, specifically not allowing me to use a $1.

where $1 changes depending on the number, however the $1 isn't changing. The help patch and and the reference file don't mention () being a special character. Any ideas?

For more info, I'm sending this message to [bach.roll], and one of their help files shows a similar example, but theirs works...

The alternative is [sprintf] if you don't like/want/need the spaces between brackets and other items in the list:

But [sprintf] looks like it could be super useful to me in other areas.

oh man.... how did I miss that?!
It was the spacing...
