"One can assign the following values to a procedural type variable: 1. Nil, for both normal procedure pointers and method pointers. 2. A variable reference of a procedural type, i.e. another variable of the same type. 3. A global procedure or function address, with matching function or procedure header and calling convention. 4. A method address." [reference manual ftp://ftp.freepascal.org/pub/fpc/docs-pdf/ref.pdf page 38] Note "A GLOBAL procedure or function ... " This is for a reason - think what would happen if you were able to a local procedure to a global variable! FWIW the same is true of Delphi.
