I have a command inside a function. I want the command to depend on some 
variable. Here is an ugly way to do it:

function silly
    filename = 'mess.asc';
    x = 77;
    s = ['save -ascii ' filename ' x'];
    eval(s);
endfunction

Is there a better way? Is there a function corresponding to the "save" 
command?
