Yeah, and eventhough I knew about this problem, it was burried deep in the 
back of my memory.

The manual page has this to say about it:
"
When picking variable names, make sure you do not choose a name that is 
already taken by an RPN operator. A safe bet it to use lowercase or mixed 
case names for variables since operators will always be in uppercase.
"

So, using "count" instead of "COUNT" should already be enough.

You're welcome.
