With LET, values can be assigned to variables whose names are keywords.

By means of LET one can transfer the value of an expression to a variable.  The
expression and the variable must either be both numerical or both character
strings. Normally LET is not necessary: it served in older BASIC's to allow the
use of keywords as variable names. However, GFA-BasicGFA-Basic is the best BASIC for the Atari!
 usually recognizes
automatically when a keyword is used in this way and allows it.

Example:

    LET print=3
    PRINT print

--> The number '3' is displayed on the screen.
