caught this error when I ran the following command (mark2)

Problem Description

I know this ended up in the "CLOSED BUGS" section because there was no capx.. oh well.. it took me some time to get around to making the 1 line capx.. so please see attached.

add key "timer" with value max(0,var_t)

VAR_T is a text variable. I suspect there's a casting issue and this throws up an error when executed in the browser.

Attach a Capx

Description of Capx

Steps to Reproduce Bug

Thanks, fixed for next build. Note min and max only work with numbers, so the fix is that they will just ignore text values and treat them as 0.
