[SOLVED]Sending a Compound Rednet Message

I'm sure this is a fairly common mistake though I didn't find anything through an immediate search.. How would I go about sending a single rednet message which contains the string "place" followed by the value of a variable? Currently I have:

msg = 1
msg = tostring(msg)
rednet.send(11,"place"msg)

What's wrong here?

You forgot the ".." to concat your strings !

rednet.send(11, "place"..msg)

Will work !

Thanks! I'm almost done with my control room setup now.
