2003-08-04	Value:		operator # nur für: Text # Text
						operator ## für: Liste ## Liste

2003-08-13	VScript		shell commands: now executed shell command is stored in VScript.proc->Var(isProc)
						now using UCS4String for strings in token stream.
						Value() creates 'shared' substrings from proc string for string literals
2003-08-14	execute.cp	changed ExecuteScript() to Execute(Var*proc,Var*&result,uchar*ip=NULL)
						now VScript.proc is always set during execution; initially to tokenized shell line or script
						tIDF now using UCS4String
						now rejecting idf replacement operator @ in argument list of procedures
