The short answer: No, you can't. Variables only store numbers.

The long answer: No, you can't. You can store strings in variables by encoding them as numbers (a = 1, b = 2, c = 3, etc...), but there's no way to get back to the string.

If it were possible to store strings in variables, and use them as strings, then I'd like to hear about it. Especially if they'd be usable in things like external(), because that'd rock.
