			::So, I tried the underscore thing in order to save an entire string... that failed. Knowing that you can use entire words as the %VARIABLE opens up a lot more possibilities, though... so... initial setup is now somewhat of a bother. I figure, though, that considering the depth/length of the script itself, taking a few minutes for this kind of initial setup isn't that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things since it'll only rarely change and it'll allow for enough flexibility that basically anyone with any container configuration can then successfully make use of it. Thank you for the suggestions! It's always great to learn something new!

Script Suggestions: new section

== Script Suggestions ==

Since you asked for feedback/suggestions, I thought I'd mention a few things.

1. Add some usage directions to the top of your script. It makes it so much easier to figure out when people share scripts.
# To use this script, have your instruction book in hand. Turn your book to the desired page and run .pound
# Make sure you set the variables "toolContainer" and "hammer" below before the first run!

2. When others need to maintain and/or work with scripts, it is very helpful to have descriptive variable names. It means so much more than A, B, C, etc. It also makes setting variables a lot easier for the user too! Instead of 2 variables, you can suggest users add an underscore. With StormFront you can also use quotes, but quotes are incompatible with Genie.
# Make sure you set the variables below *BEFORE* the first run!
SETVARIABLE toolsContainer forger's_belt # this container has your hammer, tongs, rod, bellows, and shovel.
SETVARIABLE consumablesContainer "tool chest" # this is the container for consumables such as oil, hilts, cloth padding, etc.
SETVARIABLE instructionsContainer backpack # where you keep your logbook and forging instructions

3. There is such a thing as a forging mallet in addition to a forging hammer. Your script would need a minor tweak to support both:
SETVARIABLE hammer ball-peen_mallet

...

PUT pound %itemToForge on anvil with my %hammer
