This statement consists of a calculation. While parsing this calculation, AutoIt notes that it has to execute the MsgBox() function to be able to fill in all values into the calculation. However, since the value can change depending on which button is used to close the box, we need to eliminate the return code from our calculation. That's why the return value of the MsgBox() function is multiplied by 0. Since we don't want 0 to be the error code we'll just add 99 to it.

=== Save a variable to a file ===
A variable's value can be saved to a file for later use.
For example if you have a variable called $Data and you wanted to save it for later just use IniWrite.
<pre>IniWrite("Variables.ini","Main","Data",$Data) </pre>

To get it back later just do.
<pre>$Data = IniRead("Variables.ini","Main","Data","") </pre>
You can even get it back after the script has exited and restarted.
