something new - AA removes comm in variable assignments

[philkryder]

I was trying to test a macro to print selected pages of a PDF.

I found that a variable operation removes COMMAS in an assignment
if there are no spaces
thus the first message box below
displays 1, 2, 3, 7
while the second displays 1237
no commas.????
what is the intent of this?
I checked the HOW and EXAMPLES and couldn't find any documentation for this effect.

this is v6.1
obviously, the clipboard is not a list variable - if that would matter.
