Can somebody please explain the use of the following statements in in.lj

variable	x index 1
variable	y index 1
variable	z index 1

variable	xx equal 20*$x
variable	yy equal 20*$y
variable	zz equal 20*$z

The manual says the index style should be followed by a string. 

Thanks 
Arun

The reason to use a variable for the box size (and thus
the number of atoms) is so that you can at run time

use -var x 3 in the command line to run a different size
problem. Useful for benchmarking. E.g. see the
bench/README file.
