Of course the motor ignores the message.

I added a [makefilename %d] before the [print VT=$1( message and it does work well.

the dollsym message [symbol VT=$1( is really *equivalent* to the object [makefilename VT=%g] with the latter potentially being faster.

dollargs don't evaluate particularily fast;

[makefilename %d] | [symbol VT=$1( is equivalent to [makefilename %d] | [makefilname VT=%s] which means that you have to do string-conversion two times.

if you want decent performance you should go directly:

[makefilename VT=%d] | [print $1(

(the $1-expansion in the last message is pretty fast, as '$1' is replaced directly with the atom without any fancy string stuff)
