  • Creating a Table
    • Tables can be created using the SET or RES or TABLE command. 
      nM> set table1 {ONE=1,TWO=2,THREE=3}
nM> res table2 {FOUR=4,FIVE=5,SIX=6}
    • An empty table can be created that will be filled in later. 
      nM> set table3 {}
    • A table must be created before it can be modified. (This is important later.)
Don't Make This Mistake:
No results translation is done on a new table unless a results name was created. Therefore:
    res t:table {FOO=TEN}
will set FOO to the string "ten" even if there was a result named TEN. If you want to force results translation, use a caret:
    res t:table {FOO=^TEN}
