Error: Variable used without being declared.

Your select is OK if you set $var to somevalue before execution of the select.

just add before $var= whatever the value should be

Thats right out of the help file . I didn't make it or change it .

Should it not run if it is an example ?

All example in this section you are refering are to illustrate coding not to be run as is.

Usually the ones in the Function reference run except doc error.

if you'd like to try something that would actually run based on that.. I did something here for you..

$var = InputBox("Computer Yesman", "do you like Apples?", "", "")

Select
   Case $var = "no"
       MsgBox(0, "", "I don't like them either")
   Case $var = "yes"
       MsgBox(0, "", "Oh yeah.. aren't they awesome?")
   Case Else
       MsgBox(0, "", "make up your mind!")
EndSelect

it should illustrate how cases are being used.
