How do you add variables to commands. If you want a command like /sphere stone 5 (which will create a sphere out of stone with the radius 5) but the command should also work like /sphere stone 9 (which should create a sphere out of stone with the radius 9) so that the number is a variable and can be changed in the command. How do you do that?
Use the block command parameter with index (0) from the advanced tab. It will give you the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc. 'variable' of a command, where the index starts at 0. For example, if I have a customsay command setup like this:

then I can make a procedure like this:

that will send a chat message containing the first thing I add to the command, as you can see in this screenshot:

Two things to note: I don't think there is a way to make the command prompt the user for specific parameters; it will just say [<arguments>]. Also, it always gives the parameter as text, so to get a radius you'll have to use the number from text block from the math tab.
