I'll expect rotten tomatoes tossed at me for this!! :)

This is like the fixed-format MULT opcode, without specifying Factor 1, as described here:

If factor 1 is not specified, factor 2 is multiplied by the result field and the product is placed in the result field.

Ducking now with raingear on!

Multiplies two numbers and sets a value to the result of the operation. For example, if a variable @x equals 35, then @x *= 2 takes the original value of @x, multiplies by 2 and sets @x to that new value (70).

Subject: EVAL var *=

Checking a program that bombed, I came across this line of code.
C eval @CurrOptFntSiz *= (1+(@PzFactor*.01))

I don't think I recall seeing *= in an eval statement.
The compiler certainly accepted it.
Is this multiplying @CurrOptFntSize by (1+(@PzFactor*.01)) and setting @CurrOptFntSize equal to that?
