- Also Variables are listed in Blue.
- You can experiment changing the Blue Variables.

- It is good practice with Text editor scripts to save a copy of the .blend.

- If you can't see the new Curve, go in wire mode "Z" select all the vertices, press "W" and "Set Radius" leave it to 1 and press Ok.
