x =

*******************
different variable y

y =
Columns 1 through 3

Put this in the command window:
>> workspace
Now, do you see x, y, and z in the workspace panel BEFORE you type x in the command window? Yes you do. Double click on x in the workspace panel to bring it up in the variable editor. Do you see a value there? Yes. Now type x on the command line and you will see the same value.
Do you want to get rid of all variables? Do this
>> clearvars
Now when you type x it will say
Unrecognized function or variable 'x'.

In my experience, when GUI are being discussed, the convention to indicate selection of a sub-entry or a sequence of steps some of which might only be possible on menus triggered by earlier stages, is to use -> between the parts. Using / is usually reserved for command line usage on Unix or DEC VMS systems (but not CP/M because CP/M predated hierarchy of command options)
