The manual I get when I click on help says I should be able too.

It says under "#read":
"A DATA_IDENTIFIER is any undeclared identifier or any previously declared
string identifier, float identifier, or vector identifier. Undefined
identifiers will be turned into global identifiers of the type determined
by the data which is read. Previously defined identifiers remain at
whatever global/local status they had when originally created. Type
checking is performed to insure that the proper type data is read into
these identifiers."

Doesn't saying "or any previously declared string identifier, float
identifier, or vector identifier" mean I should be able to use declared
identifiers?

Is the manual wrong? Or did I read that wrong?
