st: here's another thing driving me nuts

Here I've defined the local variables x and y but the following line
within a program generates a syntax error while the same thing from the
command line does not:
table var1 if var2~=`y', c(mean `x' n `x')
in this case y is a number and x is a variable name.
I don't understand why the program line generates an error and the
command line doesn't, where they're exactly the same??
