If you are actually doing
{ SET VAR1 = "foo" }
then VAR1 will actually be set to "=" (in which case you might not be
noticing the output :-) )
{ SET VAR1 "foo" }
would do it, or
{ SET VAR1 foo }
if there are no spaces in the text.
But assuming that is not the problem, are you actually seeing
Var1:
Var2:
in the output? If not, my best guess is that you might have nested those
lines in another field in such a way that they would never output. If
you are seeing them, could it be that the SET fields have not executed
because they are nested inside an IF, or some such?

For some reason, neither of the statements are displaying the value on

Var1: {var1}

In contrast, I do know how to display stuff. This works OK:
Mergeseq variable: {MERGESEQ}
Mergerec variable: {MERGEREC \* MERGEFORMAT}
Yes, the above braces are Ctrl-F9 braces. And I have referenced the
links to the excellent tutorials and code. What I am doing is working
some of this out for myself, and find I can't even get this little
thing straight.
