Maybe this won't help, and maybe you already tried it as well,
but here's the ouptut of my *ARexx* shell:

>msg.34 = 'eGroups-EW/0.82'
>say msg.34
eGroups-EW/0.82
>say value(msg.34)
+++ Syntax Error: Symbol expected

So, I guess it's something to do with quotes, depending upon where you
inserted that line. Also, the use of a minus and a division sign could
be the cause for the "symbol expected" error message, when you try to
get value().
