Hoping that it was implemented this way, I asked about control over the relative place in the memory of that named variable. Oh, well, there are no run-time checks, so that's all... _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
