Changing variable wrapped in a string

Hey guys,

Say I have;

$Test[0] = "a"
$Test[1] = "b"
$Test[2] = "c"

for $i In $Path
    $string = ($i)
    send($i)

Next

This would obviously send the variable of  $i until the array splits are depleted.

However, I would like to use the {"LETTER" DOWN/UP} syntax but i'm having a hard time figuring out how and if I can change the variable each time wrapped in something  like the  button up/down syntax.

I was fiddling a bit attempting things like;

$Test[0] = "a"
$Test[1] = "b"
$Test[2] = "c"

for $i In $Path
    $string = ("{($i) & "down"}")
    send($i)

Next

or something along those lines.....

So can It be done if so how ?

Thanks

Odin
