References to StreamServe script variables are defined by $variables references. This type of reference is handled the same way as internal variables defined in the template. The difference is that the value of an internal variable is set by a
#set directive, and the value of a
$variables reference is retrieved from the StreamServe script.
Script variable references are not case sensitive. For example, $variables.customer and
$message.Customer are references to the same script variable.
The value of a $variables reference is always represented as a string.
