Inserting a User Field, without inserting a field into the document

Just to be sure I understand correctly. See attachment.  This was done with
6.3.4.2 (but it can also be done with 6.5.0.0.alpha).

I have circled the active Apply/Delete buttons to show that the MyVar "exists".
(bottom right).  And I have circled the "eof" at the top of document (with View
Field Names checked) to show that no field was inserted.    

I did not use the "Insert" to create this variable, but I can go directly to
"Input field" and use "MyVar" to make a functional input field.  (but I cannot
show this with Ctrl-F9 -- see bug #129760, comment 3 )

Did you use Insert?  Can you get it to work as described in the previous
paragraph, without Insert "User Field"?
