You are right. I am sorry, there are indeed these two ways:
  let REPLIEDFLAF=...
and
  REPLIEDFLAG=$((...))

In both cases there must be no spaces around the "=".
I actually didn't realize "let" was part of the syntax, 
probably because I didn't even know "let".
I just tried your example (with my own variables) and it 
gave me an error.

Sorry.
