IMHO the issue is C pointers aren't an easy topic and good conceptual understanding is important. Anyone who contemplates interfacing with a C API using pointers would need to sit down and read a standard C textbook to get a proper understanding: it's not something where you can give a few "quick tips" in a Gambas manual and then people can actually go away and use them. Similarly I can see how it's hard for Benoit and others to answer your questions without launching into a ten-page tutorial on C pointers.
More importantly they have no other use in the language, so there's no point learning about gambas pointers unless you are prepared to learn C anyway. My advice would be to make a choice: 1. sit down and learn basic C and how to use C pointers, then come back to this problem 2. leave Gambas pointers alone and concentrate on other sections Ian ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Protect Your Site and Customers from Malware Attacks Learn about various malware tactics and how to avoid them.
