You probably want something like this:
.de END
..
.
.de something
. de something-aux END
ps: exec \\$*
. END
\Y[something-aux]
..
.
.something 50 (hello) 100
which gives
x X ps: exec 50 (hello) 100
+
in the intermediate output.

It does -- in the example above you use `,' instead of `.' ...
.nr x 5i
.de y
ps: exec
\nx u 0 rlineto stroke
..
gives me these lines in the intermediate output:
x X ps: exec
+ 360000 u 0 rlineto stroke
+

Number registers are always treated without scaling if you omit a
scaling indicator. Where's the problem? You explicitly specify
`5i'...

Please explain. It's not clear to me what you want to achieve.
