Easy.  HL points to a variable name in the format (I think):type, length 
of name, name.  then RST 20 (which is load OP1 with (HL)) then RST 10, 
(which is find the variable in VAT).  Returns:
Success: CF clear
         A = (8082) = Type of the variable found
         C = 0
         DE = Address of variable
         HL = Address of VAT entry for variable
Failure: CF set

8082 is the location of OP1

Pretty easy.  Why use VAR_GET(or what ever) when this is just as easy
