This metalanguage symbol represents an occurrence of an argument of the Assign command. Examples of valid arguments for the Assign command appear in an earlier section. The argument of the Assign command is either a destination as described below, followed by an equal sign (=), followed by an expression, or an indirection operator (@) followed by an expression that evaluates to a list (separated by commas) of such arguments.

The destination can be either a local variable (possibly subscripted), or a property of an object, or a list of such entities (separated by commas; enclosed in parentheses).
