Hello can anyone out there give me an example of how pointers are created in PBASIC, I know in C it would be something like this

int *ptr; is something like this possible in PBASIC?

    The closest thing to a C-pointer would be the "alias".,,
    cat VAR Byte 'create a byte-sized variable
tabby VAR cat 'create an alias for cat

    Either version of the programming manual (text or on-line) has information on how the BASIC Stamp variables are handled.

    You can download a copy from here:

    Pull down the "BASIC Stamp Syntax and Reference Manual 2.2"
