I was tweaking with lists and suddenly I've discovered that "set $"

how can I do something like "set $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9 $10 $11 $12 $13 $14 $15 $16 $17" ?

I was tweaking with lists and suddenly I've discovered that "set $"
goes till number 9. 
how can I do something like "set $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8 $9 $10 $11 $12 $13 $14 $15 $16 $17" ?

Note that you can't use $10. It looked like it worked in Kasper's example, but it really didn't. If you use $10 it will actually give you a symbol consisting of the first argument to the list ($1) concatenated with the 0.

So, Kasper's example would be better put like below.

yes I've allready fixed that thank you indeed

also note that in a lot of situations using [prepend set] instead is easier, especially if you don't know the size of the incoming list.

you mean that with a list of 50 numbers PREPEND SET would fix all without splicing?

It works in Max 5, and I'm pretty sure it would work in Max 4
