It is called (IMHO a bad form of) "Hungarian Notation", an identifier naming convention that should help to make source code more readable. In [Borland,Turbo,Free]Pascal, the first latter is indicating what kind of indentifier it is. "t" denotes a Type "p" denotes a pointer to a Type "c" denotes a constant (I personally prefer to use low case letters for that preceding character, it is IMHO much better readable).
So yes, in this case, the T and P do have a special meaning, but are of no significance...
