 <b>Local Variables</b>

 What are local variables?  Variables that, unlike the normal $0-$9
 mobvalues, persist only for the duration of the prog in which they're
 created.  They can hold numeric or string values.  They are prefixed
 with a % (as opposed to $ for mobvalues) and can be given any alphanumeric
 name that is not a number.

 They are otherwise used just like mobvalues, and work with:

 mpvalueset
 mpvalueup (*)
 mpvaluedown (*)
 mpvaluerand
 mpmath
 mpgetroomvnum

 and with

 if (mob/obj/room)value

 NOTE!  You no longer need to use "mobvalue/objvalue/roomvalue" for
 any of your if checks.  Just "value" should suffice.

 Here is an example of the local variables in action:

 mpvalueset gstr Hello, I am a local variable.
 mpecho %gstr
 mpvaluerand apples 1 3
 mpecho I have %apples apples.
 if value(apples) == 3
   mpecho Wow, that's a lot of apples!
 endif
 mpmath apples %apples * 2
 mpecho I now have %apples apples.  That's twice as many as before!

 I'm sure you can figure out what the above would do.
